Hi all
I'm a new P6 V8 owner, love the car but hate the fact the temperature gauge doesn't work. It won't register any movements on the needle, even when I turn the ignition on. The fuel gauge works perfectly though.
I was poking around the engine bay the other day and noticed the wire going to the temp sender is very slack with plenty of length available but the wire going to the choke warning unit is very tight with no play in it at all. Could it be possible that someone has put these wires round the wrong way? The choke warning light doesn't work either.
I'm not an auto electrician, in fact its the one area of vehicles I hate dealing with so I was hoping to use the highly scientific method of finding out what colour wires other V8 owners have on their temp and choke senders please?
Cheers
Mark
