temp gauge/ running hot?

(1/2) > >>

tom38:
got a 200tdi n temp gauge goes up towards top but not into red untill lights used or i brake also lights will dim at tickover a lot any ideas as to cause thought part may be blocked rad n maybe a dodgy earth any help would be great thanks

TDi90:
im reckoning on a bad earth there mate... but im sure someone will clarify soon.

extreme90:
dont take ay chances at this stage matey
do check all your earth's
but find a second means on monitoring temp as it could be telling the truth
personaly, id use this as a excuse to bin it and pit a proper guage that gives you a actual temp not just a cold norm and hot marks if you get me  :roll:

tom38:
i thought it was prob a dodgy earth on it but  wondered if it would be a good idea to maybe flush out rad with a hose? to make sure its clear any ideas would be great

TDi90:
yeh do that too. get it right off and FLUSH. do the same with the intercooler.

then check the thermostat. make sure its opening at the right temp. (pm me if you want?!)

and then change the guage if still nothing is working.
