Guys,
Need help. Temperature needle won´t budge from it´s normal position.
Where do I locate the switch or the sensor? How difficult is the job?
I tried to find answer in previous threads but couldn´t find it.
VW BUSS. 2.1L. 1987.
Thanks.
Xavi

you find it on the thermostate house on the side pointing forward.
easy to change, rize the left back of the car. Have the new one in stand by, pull out the sprint on the sensor and pull it out and replace it with the new one. Refill with water and empety the system from air.

before you change the sensor/sender check it with a ohm meter, if it doesent indicate a brake than are the sender proberly ok, you can check from the connections on the digijet box,

I have changed the sensor located on the thermostat house but still no reaction.
The temperature needle won´t move. Is there a second sensor?
What is the next step?

If you connect the cable to earth then should the sensor indicate max temp if not then.it's a trouble with the cable from the.sensor to.the.instrument

Pardon my ignorance. May you please expand on which cable to connect to the earth.
