If you can confirm it's the gauge sensor that's faulty no reason to not drive it as the ECU get's it's info from another sensor!

William: Nah they use a totally different mounting! Also the T56 won't fit into the trans tunnel in a Mk3 without some major surgery as the extension housing that holds 5/6th gears is wider than the existing tunnel back there (you'd almost have to move the seats it's so wide) I posted some...

Siman: No idea I took the "easy" way out and went full standalone ;)! There's a few really good threads here on the MAFT and ShawnDude knows a bunch about it even though he rarely posts anymore! (I used to try and follow their tech threads until my brain would explode)

The "T" in maft is the secret Siman! T for Translator it allows the MAF to talk to the ECU (or at least this is my understanding of it)

LMAO so I noticed and had to do a quick edit ! ;)

I used to run a MrGasket Vertigate shifter with an M22 Muncie, it got awesome shifts till it killed the synchros!

:rofl: @ the mental image of Lanky/CK doing a "Bunny Foo Foo" ! (depends on who wins the edit war)

Time to try either a mechanical gauge or another temp sensor! What I wrote earlier about the stock gauge V's the standalone readout is interesting to me at least as with a stock gauge you never actually know what 1/2 is ? 1/2 of what ;) I know it's 1/2 of H and C but what are H and C ?

Grant: Way back when a lot of the Racers modded their Auto's to use a manual clutch! (can't find anything about it online though) In effect giving them a full manual planetry gearbox that would shift without a clutch once moving!

Only time I've seen fluctuations in the needle have been when there's a big gulp of air in the system, I had to put a bleed port in my highest hose as I couldn't get it all out no matter how high I raised the front. Clinton makes a good point though, how does the car run when it's reading...

I use mine to demist the windows in Winter as the dehumdifier does this in seconds ;)

$10 boom boom me lub you long time!

Parasitic loss is equal to the drag from driving with the windows open so here in Australia it makes no sense not having AirCon. <edit> after reading Dan's post I'm old as well and love the creature comforts! LOL @ "3 points"

Pull the Thermostat and drop it in a pot of water on the stove and watch to see if it's opening. Not unknown to get a dud even when brand new.

DAMN! 3-5 bars below H is HOT as! I've been watching the digi readout on my standalone and comparing it to what the stock gauge does and 5 bars above C is around 74c! Another 3>4 bars is around 98c!

If you jam a screwdriver between the frame and the bracket and lever down while turning the bolt you might get it undone (Looks like it's had a good soak of penetrating oil) if that doesn't work looks like grinding the head off the bolt is the way to go. Don't know what the access is like to...

Lagged: Good way to make their shit list! I'd be getting an exhaust pretty soon as you can be sure you'll be targeted from now on :(!

F&F 1 and 2 have a lot to answer for! While Nitrous doesn't burn it WILL accelerate anything that is burning! A bit like adding oxygen to a fire (you know how you blow on an ember while camping to make it flame up). This is why smoking in Hospital is such a big no no! Cars have a...
