Hi Guys,
Looking for a bit of help with my 2.4 v6 b6 estate.
I have recently been having issues with my temperature guage being a bit erratic/not working at all. I have changed the coolant flushed the system through the best I can and had started looking at thermostat change but I believe it is a cam belt off job which is a bit above my DIY skill base.
I have a Bluetooth ODB II reader and Torque app and on a good run today the "Engine coolant temperature" was fairly steady around 90 degrees going up a bit in traffic and down a bit on the motorway.
In my limited knowledge i would say that the thermostat is not the issue and perhaps a temp sender (if my engine has 2??) Or a faulty dial.
So long story short. Could anyone help with a bit of knowledge around if the 2.4 V6 has 2 temps sender's, 1 for ECU and 1 for dash cluster.
Also, I have ready that I can enable a needle sweep using the diagnostic port and a laptop. Is there any recommendations for software and adaptor to let me do this. I work in IT so more comfortable with the tech side than the mechanical side to be honest.
Any help is much appreciated.
