Default Escort HTT dashboard temp sensor problem

Hi everyone,

My water temperature gauge isn't working on my Escort Cosworth HTT MY95. The needle stays at cold even when the engine is fully warmed up.

I've heard this is a common issue with the instrument cluster electronics in these cars?
Anyone know how to solve it?

Hi, try first change sensor. It located right bottom corner (looking from front) on the cylinder head. There is 2 temp sensors and what you are looking for is the below one.

I have heard also that the new after market sensors can be bad, so try to find original or the good one.
