Now, I haven't had a remap but I was thinking about it! Would be two birds with one stone if it works! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys, had this code for the second time in the last month. I have checked all my pipes and everything looks good. Any advice on fixes without spending a ton? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Right the fella's I am failing at step one here! How is the cover strip suppose to come off? I don't want to just rip it off, I can see where I want to be I just can't get to it! Also, where behind the glovebox will it be? I just have a mass of crap behind it and a load of sound proofing! Who wants to come and do it for me before I throw my teddies? Cars are so delicate compared to aircraft.... :-/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Temperature dial and sensor issues

I think I have some wiring issues! After replacing all I can think of the problem is still there but now only shows it self when I accelerate quickly or turn right... Very strange! Going to check me earths and get an electrician in there! -

I drained my system completely and refilled to check that, my heater works perfectly. In fact the car is generally running very well except for the bloody temp gauge! Though I did notice today the fan comes on from as soon as I start the car... -

It was tested with a thermometer but I'm going to change it this weekend anyway as I still have the problem, I have also changed the expansion tank in the vein hope it was that! It wasn't! I also spoke to the garage that did my cam belt and water pump and the fitted a water pump with metal impella so that should be out of the picture! A guy at work seems to think the oil level sensor feeds into the same circuit and might need changing but I think he could be full of it... -

Stat was checked and is serviceable and computer put on to interrogate... Code says CTS which I've changed once already -

UPDATE..... I went on a 30 mile run this am, when I am driving normally and accelerating the temp is down on 50. When I brake or unload the engine it's goes up to 90. I decided to stop to see what it did unloaded in neutral but with revs, it sits at 90 even if I rev right up to 4k soon as I loaded the engine again and pulled away it dropped straight back down to 55... WTF???? -

When it went to 100 I was running the old temp sensor so I'm not sure I can trust it, don't really know what to do!
