Gauges Or Sensors

Recommended Posts

Started the car today, the top right dial (Oil temp) stayed at the 1st quarter marker. The bottom right dial (engine temp) always shoots up to nearly max temp which is alarming however its litterally freezing outside and id just turned it over and this has happened for the past week or so.

 

Surely that cant be right, how do i tell if its just the dash instruments or the actuall sensors?

 

Cheers

Chances are there's a broken cable and it's earthing on the engine somewhere.
