Trouble with the tempareture meter

[Gohu74]

Hi

I bought a liteAce 1986 with 1C engine diesel

I break the engine and now i got a 2C engine diesel

But i think i broke the last engine because of a cooler leak and i didn't see that because my temperature meter didn't work well.

The mechanic changed with the new engine 2C and i think i still have some trouble with the temperature meter, can you help me

Cheers

There's two parts to a temperature guage, the guage itself and the sender. Either one could be faulty.

With the ignition turned on, remove the wire from the sender and touch it on a metal part of the engine. If the guage starts to climb up to the red, then the guage should be OK, and most likely it will be a faulty sender.

For the cost of a new sender, your mechanic who changed the engine should have replaced it!!! Espacially since the reason for changing the last engine was an overheating issue.

Thank mate

Yeah i know usually but they changed the engine really quickly, they didn't change the time belt because the time belt from the broken engine was pretty new....

Also i dont know where is the sender can you help me to find it?

Cheers
