Engine cleaning
- Thread starter Tearoom
- Start date
A very long way, however high the bonnet is when it's open it reached that. If I had the bonnet shut I probably wouldn't have seen it and there would have been a lot more of it no longer in the engine. Covered absolutely everywhere, but gave me an excuse to give the engine a clean. Must have spent 7 hours cleaning it up 
Did you get the gauge job finished though after all that cleaning mate?

Guess you are fitting an oil temperature gauge, the oil pressure seems fine!
Yes it works great, just need to tidy the wiring and get the outside temp one sorted now. Might get a couple of new sensors, that one used to be my outside temp one and I only tried it for the oil temp as I thought it wasn't working since swapping to the new car. Shouldn't have bothered.
Yes the oil pressure is certainly fine, came out that fast I'm surprised it didn't put a hole through the bonnet.
Well I'm glad it works mate after all that cleaning.

I did the ///M gauge fit to my last zed the outside air temp sender sends totally the wrong signals and miss reads i had to swap the sensor still plugged in the stock place but fixed it .
Good job the bonnet was up that could have been nasty if you had ran it round the block !!
An excuse for a clean if i ever saw one

I had the outside temp sensor on the 2.0, worked ok but always read a couple of degrees higher. I think this is quite common on the ///M's.
OMGI think mine needs a quick wipe over
I think now, its time I let you know...
you were adopted...
Pete mate, join "the" club. T**t!!
