Yes If you ground the wire that goes to it, the temp gauge reads 100% hot. Check there is 12V on the cable. This proves you gauge. If the engine is hot and the gauge reads cold then you probably need a new sensor. There are two types - a black and a green.

Is this you ?

Hi. That isn't the engine temperature sensor. The engine temperature sensor is in the side of the engine just below the thermostat housing on the same side as the air filter box. It has 1 wire going to it. That wire has +12 on it.

You've spent a fotune on that, a fortune. The reality is that you may not break even. How much have you spent in total (roughly) ?

I like Gunk and a reasonably stiff(ish) brush, followed by more Gunk and then a jetwash on its medium to low setting.. Avoid the delicate bits like the radiators and intercooler etc and dont concentrate the spray into the fuses, alternator or the bunch of electical connections by/below the...

Here's brief write up on how to fit some 'relays' which will reduce the current (amps) running through the switch and by offering a lower resistance provide more amps (current) to the headlights which will glow brighter, although to be fair, you may need a meter to tell the difference. The...

Why "might" the switch last 'a bit' longer and why "might" the lamps be brighter ? Do you not think that the switch "will" last 'a lot' longer and the lamps "will" be brighter ?

Anyone got a standard steel bumper spare/cheap ??
