Hi All,
Had a intermittent problem with my coolant gauge for the past however long - ie when the cars off it'll sit at well below the start of the gauge (starts measuring at 60deg iirc?) when you first give it power ie turn key it'll jump to 63 deg or so then go from there up to like 100 ish for operating temperature... when you turn the car off it resets to the 63deg for a min or so then presumably after its lost its kept charge it goes to 0...
not the biggest issue in the world, its not overheating and have tried changing sender to no avail... not a biggie as know as long as it doesnt go further its not overheating
However, the other day I ran out of fuel in the car, with the needle still above the E... it was about halfway between Empty and the red line before Empty... so looks like its a number of gauges that are playing up
Can anything be done to reset the 0 point on the gauges at all or is it a case of new clocks being the only way to fix it? (If so it'll stay not done as its not worth spending 10% of the value of the car on fixing niggles)
