Correct temp sender?

[rp61973]

My V8 suffered exactly the same problem around 6 years ago when it was in with the tuners for a rolling road tweak. They phoned me to say they couldn't push it too far as the temperature went into the red when on the road for a little while.

The nice man from the tuners helped me check out the problem; he used one of those infra red thermometers and then commented to me that it wasn't actaully running hot. After they finished the tune up (with the needle in the red), I changed the NEW sensor over (I subsequently bought a replacement from JRW). Fixed the problem straight away. It seemed at the time there was a rogue batch of sensors in circulation.

Good to know it's not just me! Thing is every other one i've read about changing the sender fixed it...

Not the first thread I've read with this problem by a long shot! I've also not read a transferrable technique to finish up with the correct one! I think I might wait until Ian is back from the US and have a chat with him. Then if all else fails you could always buy one from JRW1

Rich, is your temperature gauge reading 85 C at the middle of the green and 100 C at the red like mine?
Then, the section between the green and red is exactly 90 C.
Given the fact that you are running an 88 C thermostat, i am not surprised at all that your engine runs at 90 C!
After all the 87,5 C reading of the infrared is close enough to justify a deviation.

I've drawn on this pic where it points when hot... (Cant drive it at the moment as i'm waiting on a handbrake cable as discussed previously...)

Hmm, i see, mine's a bit different...

[rockdemon]

guess that's a 4cyl vs v8 difference I can see why you said that from your pic.

If you know it's not overheating , can you tweak the gauge a bit to make the reading less worrying?

[rockdemon]

might be worth a go - would like to prove the problem is definitely the gauge though so that it's all correct if that makes any sense?

I'm very aware that a lot of the electrics on the car seem to have been hacked about so I'd like to gradually bring it back to standard/documented... just my own decent wiring diagram and overhaul from end to end.

I need to get the incorrect sender off PAE but need to make sure i get the right one this time.

The parts diagrams suggest the sender is number 568055. Question is does this match jag and landy part numbers?

e.g. will these be the right ones?

hi Colin

That's John Windwood selling. If he doesn't know which one is correct, then nobody does!
