temp guage gone mad

[snyper86]

Hi Guys. It's been a long time since i've been on here, but i've gone and got another corsa after 2.5 years of driving something a little different.

Just bought my little brothers corsa off him as a cheap run-around after sticking my car into a barrier (grease on the wheels)
The temperature guage shows things like -37 through to -20.

I know it's been cold recently but thats pushing it a bit.

If anyone knows why this has happened and/or how to fix it i'd be very appreciative

Thanks

You referring to the temp display in the centre console?

If so get on ebay or go to scrappys and get a new sensor. Think they are located behind the front bumber.

[chris_gilly]

the temp sensor is behind the front reg plate, check it and replace if necessery. check the wiring too

[snyper86]

Excuse my ignorance here, but is that behind the bumper plastic or in front of?

Also, how do i check it?

[dannicoll]

It is behind. Don't really kno what to check other than if it's giving false readings then replace it.

They don't last forever.

Your best just getting a new one and seeing if it works then trying to find a fault that could possible take forever.

The sensors are not expensive mate.
