temp

Please help, We have a model year 2000 alhambra 1.9 Tdi, (110bhp I think!) and everytime after starting the engine, the glow plug dashboard light stays lit for about 10 to 15 secs and then when I turn the ignition, the car revs all by it's own up to about 2500rpm (really load and...

Right for the past week its been coming on It beeps like your low fuel and constanly flashes but if you turn the engine off and then back on again it stops. I dont know what is causing it :confused: The water level is not low i was wondering if it can detect how much coolant ratio...

does anyone sometimes get a low reading on the coolant temp guage? For the first couple of years ownership the temp guage used to sit on 90 all day long and never budge. Its there most of the time but sometimes it shows a low reading which seems wierd.. for example last night, I had...

Hi all Sorry for the new tread! But I had the exsact same problem this morning. Starts the car (outside temp 12 c), ran for about 4-5 min at 2000-2500 rpm. The watertemp comes up to 90, everything is normal. Takes the highway, still cruising at about 2500-3000 rpm.... Everything seems...

Where is it out of interest. Dash shows outside air temp but where is this sensor? Thanks :)

Hi guys, I picked up my new LCR Sunday but yesterday when driving it got up to temp (90 DEG) but then all of a sudden ot fell back to the pin It was as if someone had just unplugged the guage/sensor.... then all of a sudden off it went back to 90 deg. Anyine had same problem?? I...

When i fitted my HIDS about 6months ago, i also fitted some LED cluster Slightlight (5LEDS) http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/u5015hpw501194t10-mini-light-tower-leds-p-1407.html One of these has now started flickering and i think on a couple of the LED's is working. I seems to remeber reading...

This has happened on and off for a while but has done it a bit more regular lately.. When getting in car in the morning the water temp light shows and, however after running it it will stay lit, but temp rises as normal. Any further trips during the day it seems fine. Is it possible that its...

Sounds fairly normal but this has only just started to happen and it's never done it before :shrug: Do a run of 30 ish miles on the Motorway and a couplt through town, noticed the fans have started to run after the engine is switched off. Do I need to be aware of anything abnormal...

Need a bit of help. When wiring up the oil temperature sender for the guage i have two wires on the sender. In the intructions it doesn't say anything about this and only tells me to connect one wire to the sender and the other to the nearest earth on the engine. Was wandering what other...

in my dash sometimes when i start up, i have an audible beep and flashing red light next to the temp guage (the one next to the petrol guage) what is this and how can i rectify it (it dosent happen agen if i turn the car off and start agen) thanks adam

Any one know where this is on a 1999 cupra? Ive recently changed the temp sensor and for some reason the outside temp reading on the dash is now always in the negative. Anyone else had a similar issue?

:confused:On my lcr i have now had this on 3 occasions. It seems to happen every other time i start the engine. It happenes from cold when i first start the engine. When i turn the engine on, the red light on the water temp gauge goes on and it beeps. It will then stay on. It seems if i...

I've just got a new job and it involves a longer commute, and since last week I've noticed a little problem. (I've done a search but would like some suggestions as nothing seems to match my situation) I start the car and get no beeps from the coolant level sensor or anything (I have had it...

Help! How do I get the leads from inside my car to under the bonnent where the senders or whatever they are called will send info to the gauges. (mounted in CurpaR usual place. They are autometer jobbies, which i got of Craig. Any ideas? I think one (temp) has a nut which replaces...

Hi Guys, I am all set for some action on the track at Trax this weekend and low and behold, two days before the off it goes wrong. had it on VAGCOM and came up with the following: 16500 - Engine Coolant Temp Sensor (G62): Implausible Signal 16518 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1: No Activty...

Got an X reg Ibiza Cupra. Started having problems a couple of months ago when the coolant fans wouldn't cut in. Thought it was sorted by garage, but the fault returned a couple of weeks ago when i was in traffic. Took it back to the garage and it seemed to be working OK. They said it was...

As per my other recent post, I had the good ol' coolant warning light come on the other day despite the car being nicely topped up. The warning light was fairly intermittant and inconsistent so I had the sensor changed and all was good. Until the next day when it came back on. :doh: I...

Morning gents before you start yes i searched but to no success i have just taken delivery of my autometer boost and oil temp gauges but although they seam easy to fit and i know where the sender goes did any of you have a problem with the oil sender as on my gauge its a bullet shaped sender...

Do they need a temp sensor fitting or can they be connected to an existing part? Cheers
