emmalouise12 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hi everyoneHaven't been on for a while but I noticed yesterday that my temperature gauge wasn't working? And today on my way home from work it wasn't working again either? Could anyone shed some light on this for me please?Thanks Emma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoid Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Two possibilities.1. Coolant Temperature Sensor2. ThermostatCTS is under a tenner and very easy to remove and replace, just need more coolant and ninja hands to minimize coolant loss. If it still doesn't work then Thermostat is the next point, if still not then water pump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shearermax Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 yes definitely coolant temperature sensor firstif the thermostat was broke it the gauge would still work it would either be stuck closed and over heat alot or be stuck open and take forever to warm up[so do the coolant temp sensor but of advice have a look at the one now unplug your conncector and see if it have a square connector block or a sort of D shaped one as there are two types that where fitted if its the D one you will need to buy one with a green plastic connector block if its the square one you will be looking for a black one green/D:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Water-Coolant-Temperature-Gauge-Sensor-059919501A-Temp-Sender-Clip-O-ring-/171011609430?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3ALupo&hash=item27d1161356black/ Square:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COOLANT-TEMP-SENSOR-FOR-CORRADO-GOLF-VENTO-LUPO-SEAT-SKODA-/360876961543?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3ALupo&hash=item5405f16f07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmalouise12 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 My boyfriend last night put more coolant in it and took it out round the bypass and the temperature gauge moved and sat at 90 degrees but when I took it out to work this morning it sat at 70 and again on the way home? Will this still be the coolant sensor thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMabey Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Mine did the same as yours, changed the coolant sensor and is good. Constantly sits where it's supposed to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shearermax Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 look at your radiator, then look at the top hose, follow it from the radiator to the engine and it will be on the housing somewhere where the hose connects to the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
