by not working do you mean not registering at all or just not moving as the car gets hotter or colder? because once warmed up i'm yet to see a stock temp gauge on a 32 budge a mm my mate had his car up to 108c and the gauge just sat where it normally was if it wearn't for the after market comp we prolly wouldn't have noticed it was hot till it was a bit to late the gauge on my hyundai on the otherhand is excellnt, go figure.

I'm guessing you're actually referring to the temperature gauge. The sender is the single-pin sensor located in the front of the engine - just follow the top radiator hose towards the engine, and you will stumble across 2 sensors (the other has 2 pins / wires).

Simple check is to switch the ignition to "ON", then ground the wire going to the sensor (connect the sensor wire to a metal part of the engine, an unfolded paper clip is useful for ensuring the terminal can connect to "earth") - if the gauge goes "full scale", then the gauge is working, and the sensor is faulty.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By R3N3 · Posted

      Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.

      Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
