Masked Marauder Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Temperature switch could be faulty. If that fails it defaults to 21 degrees or something like that. Quote

Masked Marauder Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Hanging down on a pipe from the front of the engine to the rad. Quote
smoggy7 Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Posted June 30, 2006 hi mask , isnt that to do with the temperature gauge as i thought that would tell me if its overheating, to be safe i just talked to a friend of mine and he knows a good diesel specialist so will wait until monday now to see what he has to say many thanks for the points of view taken on board cheers guys smoggy Quote
Masked Marauder Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 It is a dual sensor with three wires IIRC. Quote
smoggy7 Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Posted June 30, 2006 hi mask sorry to be a little dumb but what does that mean please thanks smoggy Quote
Masked Marauder Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 It is for the gauge and the ECU. Quote
smoggy7 Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Posted June 30, 2006 hi mask, can you tell me what the price would ruffly be for one of these and is it easy enough to fit? also what would you recomend i do get one and try it first before i take it to have it put on the machine but i am pi**ed off now as i am throwing money after money on this car all the time ive had it 14 months and i have already coffed up nearly a grand on repairs so what would you suggest i do mate please help me out here if you would be so kind thanks smoggy you have been really helpfull Quote
Masked Marauder Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Just unplug it and see if there is any difference, if none then suspect a fault. I am sure that is the sensor you want to check. Some one has done this already, look here http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...wtopic=7845&hl= and see if it is any help Quote
smoggy7 Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Posted July 1, 2006 hi mask you said the switch is by the rad/ the link you sent me shows me the one to the engine right hand side which one of these do i unplug , also mask now i come to think of it since i have had this car it never has gone past the 90 in traffic which it should do shouldnt it? also it should go past the 90 in heavy traffic for the fans to kick in and the needle then goes back is this correct as i have never seen my needle go anywhere over the 90 , thanks mask smoggy Quote
smoggy7 Posted July 2, 2006 Author Report Posted July 2, 2006 hi guys, ok just an update on this jump/jerk or whatever you want to call it anyway phoned the breakdown service from me dads but they had no on board testing gear like rac and the aa so he drove the car and i was told deffinately a fuel fault, either air in the system or water in the diesel filter so will get one tomorrow and try that thanks smoggy Quote
Masked Marauder Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 I was mistaken about the switch position chap. Quote
