fitting a new thermostat?

Post by bradley1983 »

I have been having problems with the tempature guage reading 90 then dropping down to 0 then up to 90 and so on.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so how did you fix it?

Its not the thermostat. Its the Green 4 pin temperature sensor on the thermostat housing. Its about £20 quid and takes 5 mines to replace. Happens on alot of the polos...luckily theres a guide in the DIY section to show you how.

Cheers. I replaced the thermostat any way. Was only £8 from GSF. I will do the sensor today then.
