Inaccurate temp gauge - another slant.............

Post by dandywarhol » Tue Feb 17, 2009 10:47 pm

Interesting take on the temp gauge. I found this same poor connection when I replaced the sendor on mine - poor connection = high resistance = inaccurate gauge!

PS - just LUV the translation 8)

And how the Japanese change/bleed the coolant :D I think this might be where the confusion of turning on the A/C before bleeding comes from - the translation calls the A/C the "heating"

Sorry Mike - didn't give you credit- it was through another of your posts that I got it. WordTranslator on the Google toolkit does a reasonable job..................
