Troubleshooting
Gauge not reading temperature
Check the electrical connection at the sender and the gauge. Ensure the sender's ground is properly earthed through the engine block. Verify the sender is compatible with the gauge.
Inaccurate temperature readings
Confirm the sender is securely installed and making good contact with the coolant. Ensure the temperature range (+40°C to +120°C) is appropriate for your engine's expected operating temperatures. Check for air pockets in the cooling system.
Sender leaking
Ensure the M10 x 1 thread is clean and undamaged. Reapply thread sealant if necessary and tighten the sender appropriately. If the leak persists, the sender may need replacement.
