Still hot and bothered.

Where to start? ☹️ I posted an over heating problem with my 1.6 k Roadsport a few weeks ago titled “Very Hot Se7en” got plenty of advise and loads of info off the search facility. The cooling system has never been disturbed and is only just over a year old (factory built). I thought the problem was the thermostat, so went off to buy one…

 

I fitted and flushed as recommended, turning on the ignition the temp gauge shot over into the red? So I didn’t continue with starting up. How do I confirm the serviceability of the gauge? Could the sensor on the rail be nacked?

 

Also could my initial over heating be attributed to water pump failure? If so how easy would it be to replace and how much would it cost?

 

Its not just the Se7en that’s getting hot *mad*

Steve,

 

Cheers for the info; but what would make the gauge go from working to its current state? Would a major rise in temperature be sufficient to render the guage unserviceable? How would I confirm the need to replace the sender and the guage? *confused*

 

Just noted the price of SPA dual guages...

Steve,

 

ta for the honesty, at the moment strapping blocks of ice to the sides of the block sounds good to me. All I can do is keep 😬
