Start with the easiest component to replace, the sensor, which is what it seems to be.

SOURCE: Audi A3 2002 model auto - temperature gauge not working

The guage and fan speeds work on independant sensors. If you can remove the plastic engine cover and locate the "sending unit" for the gauge disconnect it and restart the engine. The gauge should remain cold and not move. If this is the case replace the sending unit. This should be a single wire sender located in the waterjacket of the intake manifold look in the area where the upper rad hose enters the intake.

Bank one is the side on a V or H engine where cylinder number one is located. On an in-line engine you only have a bank one, no bank 2. Sensor 3 will be the third sensor from the engine in the exhaust stream.

Hi guys, have citroen relay '08' plate 2.2 hdi. is the clutch hydrolic or cable? also struggling to get reverse gear, all others no problem at all. any ideas?

It is hydraulic. Are you engaging 2nd gear prior to reverse to slow gear motion and ease reverse effort? Is the engine idle speed with specs?

I have a 2004 durango 5.7l hemi that makes loud knocking rattling noise when started but cuts off right away. No codes could be found fro OBD. Oil level is fine, just a little dirty. Don't know wha

Engine noises don't leave fault codes unless the knock is so bad the engine is misfiring. When you say it "cuts off right away" do you mean the engine stalls or the knock goes away? If the answer is the knock goes away right away then you have a crank or rod bearing that is loose from wear, the oil pressure fills the excess bearing clearance gap and the knock stops.

I have a 83 280zx non-turbo which quit running. Heard pulsating noise at fuel pump relay (kicking in and out) under dash passenger side. Replaced relay, still does same thing. Replaced water temperature...

You need to replace the fuel filter. Also the age of the car warrants replacing the fuel pump too. If its drawing high amps the relay will fail. Straight wiring a fuel pump is a safety concern. A fire or explosion hazard exist due to arcing at fuel pump motor. Yes it is inside the fuel tank and is very old. Replace it.

Engine overheat

Check the coolent in the 97 cavalier it takes the orange coolent not the green stuff. If you do have green coolent in it you will have to flush the radiator a few times before adding the new coolent.

Truck refuses to start during cold weather

Hi!
I presume via your very brief description the vehicle is Diesel? if so have your Glow/heater plugs tested if good? timer relay for them.
When you turn on the ignition does the yellow/amber glow plug light up for a few seconds? if so try turning the ignition on wait for it to go out turn off then back on straight away wait again turn off then back on straight away when it goes out for the 3rd time try starting you may have a couple of plugs still warming so a boost may get you going.
Good luck!
