Temp guage not working after head gasket change??

micheals · Nov 30, 2007

After having my head gasket changed on my p38 the temp guage does not seem to go back to the correct operating temp.

It just sits in the blue. The little red light to the right of the guage does not come on saying temp failure so i stuck.

Any ideas where to look???

I would look at the obvious first, the temp sender in the head, then try bleeding the system properly of air, then I'd look at the thermostat.

Petrol or doesel, BTW?

It's either just to the right (Looking at the engine from the front) of the water elbow which has the rad. top hose attached or fitted into the elbow itself and has a single terminal. Dead cheap to buy.
