[QUOTE="Fawls, post: 1585239, member: 37733"] The latest update is I relocated the sender to the side of the block, took it for a test run and got the same readings, looks like my engine is running hot which is a surprise as I have all new thermostat (180 deg), water pump, radiator, hoses and header tank.I know it is not unheard of for a new thermostat to be faulty and I did buy an AliExpress water pump which might not be any good. The radiator is an aftermarket ally job and a lot larger than the original.I think the next step will be to find a mechanical thermostat that I can mount in the senders original location to double check the temp readings before I throw the parts cannon at it.Mounting this gauge mod may have saved my engine as I had no idea that I had a problem with the factory set up.
