Water Temp Gauge

[ducki]

sis r32 water temp gauge in her dash is not working properly... it takes like 20-30mins drive for it to leave the C spot to middle of the gauge. Just want to know where can i take it to fix this problem cause her car overheated and it didn't show in the gauge.. only saw steam coming out ended up water pump failure so got it replaced but they said they don't know how to fix the gauge so yeah.. any recommended place in northern subs? thanks

get an aftermarket guage setup

It's possible this failing water pump could have been the reason it took so long to start to show the temp since water wasn't circulating.

Pull the temp sensor out and put it in hot water with the ignition on to see how far and fast it moves. Have a thermometer to verify temperature

If the thermostat is jammed slightly open, that will cause the slow heatup.

well i wast told by the mechanic that replaced the water pump that the gauge is not working. and where about is it located for me to take it out to dip it in hotwater?

Here's a diagram from FAST showing the Thermostat.. 21200.. which is possibly screwed

also in the.. top right.. 22630 that's the temp sensor which Geoff suggested.

Hope that gives you an idea of what you're looking for.

Cheers!
