VR temperature guage

[VNCommyBeast]

i've been searching the forum but can't find any info on where the temperature guage should be.
I recently bought a VR, it has the digital dash and the temperature guage just goes above the C mark.
Can anyone tell me where exactly it's supposed to be normally? Or is this normal? Or do i have thermostat problems, anything.

Well, from "C" mine sits between the 2nd and 3rd notch or what ever you call them. Hope it helped. (94 VR)

thanks, that is a lot of help, thought something was odd, wonder if it is running too cold or if my guage is broken

The gauge sender can be faulty and only cost a few $$ - may be worth changing that first.

[VNCommyBeast]

the sender you reckon, can you tell me where i'd find that?

On the VN's I have it's at the back of the manifold with a single wire to it. VR - not sure.

It sits at the top of the coolant level for the car so have a hunt around.

Behind the alternator, one with the slide on connector the one beside that is ECT. Or you could have a faulty thermostat. For twenty bucks all up change sensor $10 from Holden and another $10 for thermo this should fix your problems.

thanks fellas, i will get stuck in to that tomorrow, i'll try the sender first. The previous owner just put in a new thermo gasket a couple weeks ago, hopefully i can avoid undoing that lol. i'll let you know it goes

Gasket is worth $1 mate.
