The temp sensor is right at the back of your engine in the middle of the V. The sensor you want is the one with a single wire connector to it. You can prove the gauge by touching the connector to a good earth, the temp gauge should then go to fully hot. It could be a dodgy connection or a temp failed sensor although they're ot known for failing. Also, is your dash seated properly? Try pushing the das towards the left where the loom/dash connections are & see if anything happens.


welcome to the forum!

dont forget that in this cold weather it will take longer to warm up anyway.

If I may partly hijack this thread, what will the differences be in curing a cold readout for a '00 diesel?
