gauge

I have a problem today where my instrument cluster is showing incorrect speedo, petrol gauge and rev counter levels. The speedo started out at 90mph instead of 0mph, but after each start up/coming back to the car, it is now showing round 30mph instead of 0mph. The rev counter was at 4,000 rpm+...

Hmm well maybe not a gauge but when I changed the air filter on my C270CDI tonight I noticed a gauge with adjustable knob !! Is this something to check air filter condition?

I am thinking about installing two gauges in my C180 (1996): an oil pressure gauge and a oil temperature gauge. From what I have seen in Haynes maintenance book I was unable to determine where to attach the respective sensors. There is an oil level sensor (in the sump) which, I reckon ,doesn't...

We are having a little heatwave here. I got in the car today and the outside temp gauge was reading 45.5 degrees centigrade. We are looking at the same temp for the next week or 2. Anyone seen any hotter?

Fitted a new thermostat today my heater is like a furness ! Only problem is the temp gauge doesnt appear to be working. after you heat the engine up then turn ignition off then on the needle goes exactly to 80 oc then it just drops any ideas thanks ?

Been having problems with the fuel gauge on my S320, ever since I've owned it it's played up now and then, but now it's every time I use the car. Basically it reads at different levels at any time, it can suddenly go down to zero and slowly climb up, other times, when starting the engine for...

Hi all.. Lately my fuel gauge has been giving me erratic readings. For example, if i start the car it will read half a tank. Turn it off and restart and it reads just over quarter of a tank. Last night the petrol light came on whilst driving home, this morning it reads just under quarter of a...

As in title - engine temp gauge doesn't work - why not and any suggestions as to how to rectify this gratefully received! Tim!

Ive aquired a new car, a 1996 c220 elegance and it is absolutely mint and drives like new.....but the fuel gauge seems to have a mind of its own, when i put say £20's worth of fuel in it, it will show me the amount i have put in but after driving around the fuel gauge will tell me its full then...

I bought myself a 110 cdi vito on a 52 with 100,000 miles. a great economical drive I heard. I am gettng terrible fuel economy. I put in £20 this morning (i know fuel is at an all time high) which filled it to just over a quarter, drove down the motorway and back for work like an old man at...

In normal circumstances the engine temperature gauge is or was showing 80-90 degrees after a drive of 3-5 kilometers or 5 minutes of drive and stabilizing there... I remarked lately that the same temperature is reached almost immediately without even a warm engine... At the same time some lights...

Not looking for anything fancy or expensive, just an accurate pressure gauge I can keep with the car or in a drawer at home. I have a small compressor that has a gauge integrated in the air line but I'm not wholly convinced about its accuracy. An suggestions? TIA, David.

i drove my w124 about 7 miles the other day, and the temperature gauge didnt really move from about 50 degrees. ive bought a new thermostat and am awaiting delivery in case my current one is jammed open, but where does the gauge get its readings from? is it worth changing the sensor too...

My 1995 W202's fuel gauge has stopped working. There were a few days when it would show a very incorrect fuel level, finally swinging between empty, full and empty when it really was full, and now finally it's died. I read that this model's senders are known to be flakey so I checked their...

Just wondered if for any reason the injector issue may have caused my 59 c250 CDI to fail last week. I thought I had just under a quarter tank and the car stalled. I looked at the guage and thought there was just under a tank of fuel but not completely empty, tried restarting several times and...

I got the 2002 car three days ago and has done 80k but runs really well. However, the temp gauge never goes up beyond about 45. Is this normal? Also noticed that heater blows warm air but not really hot when at max setting. Is this connected? Your help much apprecated.

Hi all, Few days ago I noticed the fuel gauge is playing between full and empty marks,today it did not work at all ,just pointing empty. Is this a fuse? or someting serious happened? If so,is it an easy DIY? Thanks

I have a W140 S280 and the fuel gauge constantly stays slightly below or above the 3/4 mark regardless of amount of fuel in the tank.Some people suggested that it might be the fuel sender unit.I replaced it today but still no change.Anyone with an idea what it could be:confused:
