paceo 22 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 hi guys the temperature guage in my car only goes up to 70 degrees and no higher, i thought it was a temp sender problem in the thermostat housing so i changed both of the senders and the gauge still only reads up to 70 and no higher, any other ideas what is wrong?

russj249 2 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 is this driving around or parked up?If it won't go above 70 when driving, just leave it running for a while and see if it goes up to 90, and see if fans will cut in. Link to post Share on other sites

dman78 1 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 could be the gauge then if you've changed the sensors but as long as your fans cut in then you should be ok hopefully Link to post Share on other sites

Apollo 0 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Mine does not go over 70 either, fans cut in fine coolant level is fine. If your fans are cutting in then I cannot understand why you are worried? Link to post Share on other sites
