3/4 Temps gauge whats the problem?

  1. #1
    Right so my sax sits @ about 3/4 tempreature along the motorways whats the deal here? around town its only slightly lower.

    ~ Headgasket was recently changed by myself
    ~ Full flush through
    ~ Cleaned all sensors
    ~ Good clean of every part
    ~ Waterpump changed recently
    ~ Thermostat changed when HG was changed
    ~ All pipes cleaned etc
    ~ Heaters work
    ~ Bled properly with the correct mixture
    ~ Fan works
    ~ Temp gauge works properly

    Whats the problem here?

    Couple of mates say its normal but i can't think it cant be its a worrying issue when it shoots up a little thinking that another HG could be changed soon if it carry s on the way it does..

    Its a 1 plug i heard they do sit a little higher than their 3 plug counter part.

    Any ideas? Would a bigger new rad like a nissens sort this, but surely @ idle and motorway speed its going to be the same, really annoying thinking about fitting a switch for the fan, anyways shoot me some answers..

    Mine did this until I changed the temperature gauge sensor(blue)on mine it sits next to the green 1 on the thermostat housing.Also try re-bleeding the cooling system too.

    Thanks for the reply steve

    - Did you just change this sensor than see a difference or did you also bleed the system, did yours also sit too high?
