How old is the sender unit for the gauge?
Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
How old is the sender unit for the gauge?
what kind of radiator did you put in it? how long ago? how thick is the core?
you might of got some cheap **** that doesnt do the job.
it sounds like it's a radiator or air flow issue issue.
Mate before you go start pulling water pumps off, check your clutch fan. They can loose there grip and wont engage when the engine warms up. 2 tests: 1. When u first start up in the morning the fan will be loud with lots of air "wooshing" 2. once the car hits about 1/4 on the gauge pop the hood. It should be like a hurricane in the engine bay at this point. If the fans not blowing much are at this point or hotter its shagged.
Engine temps will sit at about 3/4 or above if this is the problem. The limited fanning affect of a shagged fan and the auxilary thermo at the front will stop it from creaping into the red.
Still sitting around 3/4 at points Someguy?
Mine sits just over 1/2 most of the time.
Maybe check the condensors and such for build up? Give them a good degrease and see how that goes?
