David Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 The temp guage has never worked on the Lupo. I have changed the coolant temp sensor and this has made no difference. What else could it be? Would it be a fault with the clocks?Cheers, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Genuine sensor? Try a known working one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) I had this. I bought my Lupo a few years ago. The temperature gauge NEVER worked once, it always stayed at 0.I know very little about cars but I took it into my local garage and he explained that the sensor gave off 2 readings and the one to my dashboard was broken but the one to my actual engine was fine which is why he was able to pass it on MOT. He did say it was worth fitting a new sensor though.Cost me £15 took under an hour to fit, works great now. Reads 100 at normal operating temperature.

And how you changed it?Cheers, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Right, so if i've changed this and the reading is still not moving from 0 what else could it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 The wiring from the sensor to the gauge ot the gauge itself. I would assume you can test both with a multimeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
