Title: Temperature gauges.
Post by: robertstums on 16 February 2019, 18:51:05: Hello there!
I am wondering which part do i have to replace in order to fix my engine temperature gauge on the speedometer and also the general outside temperature shown on display.
Thanks

Gauge temperature is a €5-10 sensor which bolts to the coolant bridge. Again this might simply be that the spade connector that locates onto it has simply slipped off... Check this first. Do not confuse this with the ecu coolant temperature sensor with a Bosch plug. :y
