So, usual problem with temp gauge not working or rather, working intermittently.
Decided to get an auxiliary gauge fitted for safety. Since then the temp gauge has been working all the time DOH!
However, just come back from a run in the mountains and on the climbs the temperature on the aux gauge crept up to 100+ a little bit. The standard gauge remained at half way.
I obviously don't want to be needing a new head gasket NOR new engine due to overheating.
Any one got suggestions on a) why the temperature should be going so high? b) why two gauges are reading differently? c) What is the MAX temperature that the engine can handle before going bang?
Thanks in advance.
