VT SS 5.7 Manual
hi all,
I’m very new to this and have just bought myself a VT SS with a 5.7 ltr etc .. it looks and sounds great but the temp gauge and thermo fans don’t work.
Not knowing what to do I replaced the temp sensor and relays, but it hasn’t fixed things.
Can anyone help me out here please?
Cheers

Does the engine get hot? Checked the thermostat?

Do you have the 3 screen dash? You can put the dash into diagnostic mode and it will give a digital readout of the actual engine temp. The temp gauge doesn't show temps from cold to hot but rather only starts to read once the engine reaches about 55 degrees C which is quiet annoying as I find we need to drive ours for a few minutes before the gauge moves when it's fairly cold outside.
