Bongo Fury

Hi back again Im afraid. We were out in the bongo today, when I put my foot on the brake to slow down the temperature gauge dropped
right down to nothing.
I have checked the water and there doesent seem to be any problem there as it is at the correct levels.
Wondered if anyone had any idea what it might be grateful for any help
many thanks

(I'm assuming it's a diesel - correct me if I'm wrong)

The dash temp gauge is fed from a sensor under the driver's seat. Did it come back up when you drove away again, or since?

Check the connection (6 in Engine bay (offside) view)...

Hi yes it is diesel, and as soon as we released the brake it went back to normal

Does it happen every time you apply brakes?? Could be a electrical problem ( faulty earth to dash unit) .. Check connection on sender unit as mentioned above...

Hi managed to get a look at the van today and the wire to the sender unit had broke off.
repaired the wire and it seems to have fixed the problem
many thanks for your help this forum is a godsend with so many helpful people on it
cheers
