MFA problem

[lockdown 0]

Could find much info with the search function.

 

Since I've owned the 'rado the MFA has never displayed the oil temp. How do I go about sorting this?

 

Thought I would get all the little things sorted while I'm waiting for parts :D

 

Thanks

Doesn't give you the option or displays nothing when you go to that setting?

 

if it's not giving a readout i'd assume that there is some sore or cabling fault or the sensor has completely had it.

Check for unplugged wires first

Its just reads a few dashes

As above then, check the wiring. possibly replace the sensor

 

Which engine is it?

urmmmmm....... can't remember of the top of my head!

I know there are a few on the right side but i think they're all for coolant, something makes me think it's on the back!

 

I'm sure someone else'll confirm

Oil pressure?

Oil pressure?

yep the two oil pressure switches on a KR 1.8 and the two switches plus a third plugged drilling on a 9A 2L, handy if you want to run a separate VDO oil temperature gauge too as you can fit another temp sensor there.

just a thought, a loose, corroded or missing earth strap from the corner of the head to the ignition coil can screw the temp reading on a 16v
