Temperature guage
Posted: 04 Apr 2018, 13:26
Forgive my inexperience .
I've had a complete engine rebuild (after some kind garage overfilled it) and since having it returned the temp guage needle hardly moves.
At best it might just reach the reading scale itself.
Driving home yesterday, after around 100 or so miles, it was getting hot going up hill and the engine seemed to struggle and lose power. Is tis some kind of safety measure? The needle was about a third of the way across. Assuming this was working correctly this would be over half way. Fortunately a bit of air running through the radiator and going downhill and along the flats it cooled down to just below the quater mark.
Does this need calibrating in some way at all so i can get nmy true needle reading back?
