A few days ago mine started to read all sorts of different temps... i.e. -0.11c, 56.c etc.....

Some really random temps, now i do know the answer already....... Is it knackered?

Its stopped reading altogether now, just shows -.--c

I'm going to see Mr Rainbird about it, but i wanted to see if its possible to repair first

The one i bought off Mike R has started doing a simmilar sort of thing over the last few days, i've spoken to Mike & it should all be sorted soon

Have you checked the sensor?

Depending on the position, it might be sitting against the side of the pipe or better still, come off and gone through the engine!

if its reading --.- it could have come unplugged from the back of the gauge.

Also
Check that the wire going into the vacuum elbo isnt bent over or broken.

Mine hasn't read anything for about 6 weeks





Mainly cos the ignition's not been on


Speak to Mr Rainbird Paul

Had a similar problem with one i had and Mike replaced it free of charge
Turned out to be a knackered wire from the sensor

Physio

Yes a replacement or repair

I think on mine the conections have come loose because if press the back of the gauge it starts working

That is a possibilty i spose, i know all the fittings are fine. I'll remove the 90° angle and see if its still there

BillyCabrio

I'll check that too fella

As said, make sure the gauge hasn't become unplugged, as it gives the three dashes if it does (and reads hay-wire as it starts to become unplugged).

The other reason that it may read three dashes is if the wire is severed in any way.

All our gauges come with a life-time warranty against manufacturing defects anyway, so if it isn't just a case of it simply becomming unplugged, it will get replaced / repaired FOC .
