Kennyb 0 Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) Ok its time to sort out these niggly bits on the 205.......I have no oil temp, level or coolent temp guage readings 90% of the time........whats first methods i should go through to solve the prob?............bearing in mind that im not entirely sure which/where the senders are in the engine bay :-) Cheers guys Edited July 24, 2008 by Kennyb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,541 Posted July 24, 2008 Brown multiplug under the distributor is the cause 90% of the time. The connectors corrode and stop conducting. You can either replace it with a new multiplug, or as I did, cut the plug off and solder the wires together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kennyb 0 Posted July 24, 2008 brown man has had a bit of a clean and poked with checked wires and stuff. is there a earth for this area? seems it may be a faulty earth cos they flick a bit sometimes when stopping and starting the car (traffic lights etc...).

Hmm, check the earths on the gearbox stud and on the side panel next to the washer bottle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Para 82 2 Cars Posted August 23, 2008 Kenny it might be just clocks need to be changed, I had similar problem trying to deal with it in many ways but still nothing. I change clocks and everything start working perfectly showing correct reading. Now only rev counter need to be fixed and it's all sorted Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kennyb 0 Posted August 25, 2008 Maybe but its a worry about milage reading and so on also clocks do work they just flicker.......i've recently re crimped the connectors on the oil pressure senders at top of engine thinking it maybe them because they were loose but.........still same starting to loose drive guys on this one......anyone have any other way to sort this problem?
