Craig855S Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Right guys. My temp guage does something very wierd when the car is started from cold start car with heat setting on cold and face vents onlythe temp guage doesnt move at all,and the engines been running over 5 minutesFlick the heater temp to hot and the temp guage on the dash risesafter that the temp guage behaves as normal. Its as if u need to make the water go thru the heater matrix before the guage registers. How many temp sensors are there??is there one on each side of the thermostat? maybe the one on the engine side of the thermostat is knackered and when the stat opens the water gets to the sensor on the radiator side? altho if theres only 1 temp sensor thats that idea shot down help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sime73 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 it could be the thermostat sticking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyC[GB] Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I'v had 2 escorts and neither of the temp gauges ever worked on em so think of it as a bonus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
