V70 TDI temp gauge 'hunting'
Hi, as the title suggests the temp gauge on my V70 TDI has started 'hunting' around it's 'normal' 3 o'clock position where it used to seem to have been nailed, once up to temp, for the last 10 years or so of ownership. It only varies a little above or below the 3 o'clock but its certainly not as stable as it used to be. So the question is, failing 'stat, failing temp sensor or something else?
Cheers John |

For the price you might as well change both. I suspect temp sensor though if its going both ways on the gauge.

Mine did this randomly a few weeks ago. Bought a new stat and sender but in the meantime pulled the connecter off the sender cleaned it and it hasn't done it since. Got some spares now

Bu**er! I wish I'd read your post before I ordered new bits! Oh well, possibly more parts to add to the 'might come in handy' or 'when I get round to it' shelf!
Now to dig out the electrical cleaner. Cheers John |
