[QUOTE="Huyrob, post: 622156, member: 26048"] My 1600 single port recon engine has done about 6k miles. Just done oil change and fitted vdo oil temp gauge and sump sender. Went for a 60 mile drive today and the gauge only got up to about 55 deg C. Same on return journey. Only went 45-50 mph. Engine compartment not hot and side vents hardly warm. The gauge pointer when off is below the 50 degree Mark and slowly edges up to slightly over 50. I have read that it should be in the region of 80deg C. I know sump senders are not that accurate but do you feel I’ve got a duff sender or gauge. I think I’ve wired it correctly, light is on and pointer does move. Perhaps it just running really well ?
