dr_mat 0 Posted March 24, 2005 Most likely you screwed up the temperature sensors when you fiddled around with the thermostat housing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rpmayne 0 Posted March 24, 2005 The cam position is quite close to the coil pack, maybe damaged that if you removed the coil pack to get access? same goes with the coil pack connector and temp sensors as dr-mat says. My speedo did that on a 8v golf after the gearbox was replaced and the earht wasn't reconnected properly, so earthing through the ECU and frying it. If yours runs at all I doubt it would be that though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
