WEll my temp gauge wont go very high, my car is running 2mm below cold according to the temp gauge, my old engine didnt used to run that cold, i flog it but it wont heat up, i mean its got the bonnet scoop which stops it heating up ALOT but surely not that much. should i swap back to my old water pump for same plug goodness?

 

cheers

Unplug the temp sender wire and earth it to the engine to see if it works, If it does then your temp sender is probably flogged.

will the needle move move when i touch it on the car or something? car on?

Yeah it will go to hot, Turn the ignition to on.

wait but i don't want to test my switch and plug, i want to test water thing because it was working with old engine i just didnt swap water pumps.
