Whilst driving home late the other night the temperature gauge needle was doing a merry dance from just under half to 0. :confused: :confused:

 

At the time the temp outside was 3 degrees :(

 

What could be causing this and what should I look for ????

 

Any help guys.......

New temp sensor;)

Most probably bad connection to the sensor. It's the one with the black cover on the pipe. The yellow one is for the ECU.

Its the gauge sensor - the little one on the right on the top water connection. Take off the connector and put it back on again - its prolly just oxide on the connection. Makes the gauge needle jerk around.

 

The big one beside it is the ecu one and if that has bad contacts in the connector you get rough running safety boost etc.

I have a strange temperature gauge problem. It reads just below the half way point during normal driving, but when I accelerate hard it drops to zero, then returns to just below half way when normal driving. Why is it doing this? Thanks.

Have you checked the water level in the radiator ?

Try cleaning the temp sensor i had the same problem on mine got it cleaned and worked a treat.
