New Boost & Oil Temp Gauge.

[dmmsta]

Have used this guide of yours CLICKY

Only changes is that I've moved the 12v +ve leads from the light switch loom onto the main 12v switched connection on the main power block.

I've checked all the +ve & -ve wires for continuity.

It's gotta be a dodgy sender of gauge.

well maybe just try it in the light column like i did, or come to essex meet and we can swap gauges!!

Found this on another thread about the same thing...not sure its right tho...

Upper green goes to red on sender, upper black goes to black on sender. Upper red goes to yellow fusebox screw 75xx or something under the lower dash trim as it needs 12v supply, not 5-9v variable from dmmer switch or you'll be able to alter the temp yourself. The wiring diagram was wrong n mine and i had 2 wires going to sender instead of just the one. You need to check your sender.

Will have to try & make the Essex meet, altho I'm only a poor Kent boy, who can't afford the cost of Dartford crossing

yeah thats right its same as i done it make sure you have the thinner and thicker cables sorted to right bits

Hang on, i'm confused now ...

Your guide says Black on Sender goes to engine bay (earth)

The guide I quoted above says Black on Sender goes to black wire from sender wires on gauge...

Which way...

 

[dmmsta]

Right, had the lot out in the dark, and tested the gauge locally in the engine bay (bit Heath Robinson )

And it works fine, so now just gotta check ALL of the connections (crimps) to make sure I've not got any dud's.

Fingers crossed by the end of this Nightshift it'll be sorted & I'll have done no work what so ever!

Technically, when the shift leader is on his lunch I am the boss, as I'm the Dep, which is nice

 

[dmmsta]

Right - It's all sorted...and the problem was .. a dodgy crimp connection

Big thanks to all those that assisted, Moff you ARE a legend!

All thats left if to check for a vac leak somewhere to hopefully sort the boost PSI issue, but I'll follow that up via a VagCom runs at some point!

Once again cheers to all involved .. I'm not worthy

yeah black goes to earth on car white to gauge..

his sender had one wire our's had 2

glad its sorted now!!
