I drove the car yesterday back from the alarm company and 2 problems arose which are starting to bug me!

 

The first is when i accelarate the temp gauge goes down and sits at a slightly lower temp than normal the more i accelerate the lower it goes, cant seem to figure out whats wrong!

 

The second being the greddy boost gauge iv got installed when i start the car the boost gauge goes right to zero and stays there and doesint budge but the reset button and memory buttons come on and the red light for when u go into boost comes on aswell! The stock boost gauge works fine and sits below zero near -7 as normal and winds up to zero wen you rev slightly but i again cant figure out whats wrong!

 

The alarm guys did fit a front bonnet sensor to the could they have disturbed some wiring or is it the senders and where is the boost gauge sender!

 

Any help will be good guys!

Ref the temp guage. Sounds as if the thermostat is stuck. How high does the temp rise when static??

Have you altered the boost warning point on the gauge ?

the problem with the temp. gauge is probably a loose connector on the sensor.

(front of the engine, on the upper coolant pipe: check the small black connector)

 

and for the boostgauge:

I suppose same story..check connectors or small vacuumhose running to the gauge (if it's a mechanical boost gauge)

The temp gauge sits normally when idleing maybe a little less than usual but as soon as i put my foot down it goes down and then back up as i slow down!

 

I have no idea if its mechanical or not but its just stuck on the same 0 mark but the stock boost gauge works fine!

 

I had a full service done recently- waterpump timing belt the full whack including the thermostat!

 

If you lot have any more ideas on what it could be then let us know!

 

How am i gona check the connectors on the boost gauge i dont even know where to look!

 

Cheers
