  • In this week video we have my fiends Vauxhall Meriva 2010 bought from an auction with the cooling fan running at all times, temperature gauge not working, wires bodged up and few old parts from the cooling system found in the car...
    I will take you through how i test temperature sensors and circuit with a decade box eliminating any fault with the sensor itself and circuit at the same time.
    Good Result in the end no parts required i hope you all enjoy the video .

    Have you ever seen a temperature gauge go straight 90 deg from cold and car starts but cuts out straight away? It's a meriva like this one.
    Great video 👍

    • @CarsExposed
      @CarsExposed  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Yes I have... the ECU also uses the engine temp to regulate how much fuel the injector will supply so when the car is cold more fuel is supplied when the car warms up less fuel is supplied , now if the car is cold and a bad temperature sensor reports 90° operating temp , the ECU will supply less fuel and a lot of car don’t even start or if it starts runs really poorly or stall👍

    OK. Bloody thing started to overheat. Stopped. Let it cool. Chucked in garage. Found main hose to expansion tank bot sealing. Did that. Did again. Got to garage. Expansion tank had a leak. Fixed that. Got back. Fan goes all the time. And on rock bottom on gauge. So will change this bugger and see what happens

    • @CarsExposed
      @CarsExposed  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry pal but it's difficult for me to understand your question. The thermostat is mechanical that will open between 90ºc and 105ºC, now the best way to test the temperature sensor is looking into the live data and perhaps use a decade box , in he live data you should be able to see the block temperature sensor figures and radiator sensor figures as well , manipulating the sensor circuit with de decade box will tell if the circuit or ECU are bad ... I hope it helps 👍
