the way the temp goes up then down means to me it is either the thermostat opening early or the sensor miss reporting the temp.

I will be checking the thermo too, although if the sender was working properly, it should had some sort of increase after i bled the system bringing hot water from the head past the sender i would of thought.

The instructions clearly state that you can use a VDO sensor OR a user sensor.

This suggests that you could use any sensor but would have to calibrate it through the display unit.

Fairly positive it is set to the VDO sender but i'll check again tonight.

Another elimination.....

Check if the sender is the right one. The sender must be the right one for coolant and a different one for oil. I have not researched the instructions to check if they are one of the same or different.

Could you have an earthing problem? The instructions clearly state that earth must be good and nothing else is to be running off it as well. It sounds scary and may only apply to the EGT reading for accuracy but its worth a check.

If only I had the product in my hands.....

Dont let your tag line stop you Lyndon

hehehehehe....

It's an old Arab proverb and here's another.......

'Examine what is said, not him who speaks'


As for the EMS and Baz, I have one on order and have been reading the instructions over and over.

By the time it gets here I should be able to install it in my sleep

Checked it last night, it's set to the VDO sender.

Both VDO senders are the same, one goes on the transfer case, the other on the head beside the OME temp sender.

Where can I get one of these and how much can I expect to pay?

Saturday i solved the problem with the coolant temp not working properly, it wasn't earthing through the adaptor that the VDO sender sits in, so I earthed the adaptor too the engine and bingo, we have a reading

So It's all up and working well, I also upgraded to the EMS1, being optically challenged I can now read it much better

Again a big thanks to Jan (The Entertainer) for his help.
