prob the sender or gauge? dolmah

the old one was old, rusty and just generally f@$ked. Just ask handiman he saw the old one.

 

Also would not be the gauge or sender as when my manifold heat plate thing was leaking coolant and there was barely any coolant left the gauge started to go up.

hmm well mine was getting up to half way before i flushed mine out and at one stage the wire bit thing that connects to near wear the thermistat is/was was hell dirty and had some sort of calcium build up of some sort but i cleaned it of good ..........

Checked when I flushed my cooling system and mine had a thermostat in it and still would only sit 1/4 of the way up the guage, and I put a new one in and still does the same thing.

 

Same.

Between a 1/4 and 1/3 is normal for these things to my knowledge.

If you have a cooling issue the temp will climb.

another reason why T-18's are awesome :blinks:

 

Edit: Also check your engine fan as mine is a viscus one and it is stuffed cause it just stays on all the time.

i hade a 3tc in my ta22 and it always stayed cool it never moved up off the quarter way mark, the only time it moved was when there was a leak somewhere in the cooling system

 

but dude put a thermostat back into it, it will help your heater. You do need one unless you have thermo's or something

well i i put one in and its all good in hood :D turns out there was one in there it was jamed open though so it wasnt closing ect ect but I'm proud of myself cuz all by myself i changed the plugs and oil plus oil filter and the thermo all by myslef with no help and my car still runs but better it realy loves new plugs :D
