Vr6 conversion

[colwan 0]

Just about done my raddo 1990 vr6 conversion only snag is the temp gauge isn’t working!! It maddening! I’ve done the d2 to e8 link and put a live to the fuel gauge to get that to work but no temp!!! it's not circulating the water to the heater matrix very well either Must be the thermostat so iv got to take it apart any way so new bloody sender as well but I don’t think that’s why I’m not getting temp reading as its not even moving when I connect a live to the yellow and red wire on the dash loom!! It’s driving me mad!! I want to put the fuse box away i'm sick of looking at it arrg!!!:@

Have u tried a different set of clocks?? Did u know if the ones u have worked before?? Most likely wiring, plug or stat.. The old process of elimination is the only way ahead mate!

Well slight update i'v sorted the temp gague, it had come off the pin inside so i'v wired it to the yellow and red on G2/3 only problem is when the ign is on it sky rockets up unless you start the engine?? also now when i connect the fuel gague it drops them both down to a false reading!!

Right well, sorted the temp gauge out by putting a relay on it from an engine running live. Unfortunately the fuel gauge is still buggered! Guess I’ll just have to put a gallon in the boot!!
