Hey all,

First up i have a Ke Verada,

when i started the car up this morning, the temp gauge was reading halfway when the engine was stone cold.

did a bit more driving and then the gauge was reading hot hot, redline hot :(

top radiator hose was roasting and the lower hose was a little hotter than luke warm. so i figured it was the thermostat.

replaced the thermostat, tested the old one, yup the old one wasnt opening. filled the fluids back up started the car, went for a little hoon around the block, temp is reading redline again :(

but now, both lower and upper radiator hoses are very hot to touch, so atleast i know the new thermostat is working.

im thinking i may have a bung temp sensor.

does anyone know what the resistance of the temp sensor should be at cold? or any other ideas i should try?

Cheers,
Craig.

no worries, fixed it.

what was the problem?

thermostat failed.

for some reason the temp sensor went all weird, probably from going so hot.

started the car this morning, still read 3/4 hot for a few minutes then went back to normal and has been reading right ever since.

did it make u laugh?
