60 Series temp guage problem

A common problem on the 60series is the primitive bimetallic voltage regulator that is located within the fuel gauge and supplies 6volts to both fuel and temp gauge. If both the temp and fuel gauge are going off the top of the scale, this is the likely cause.

The sensor in the thermostat housing is for air con shutdown if the water temp goes to high, the temp sender is located in the head near the alternator

Thankyou both.

I will try and check out the sender. The fuel guage is working fine, the temp guage just refuses to move from the bottom.

Cheers

Good day all,I had the same trouble years ago with my 60 series,we put a calibrated temp.gauge onto the vehicle & it was running at normal temp..We then replaced the temp. gauge ,made no difference.My mechanic after a number of enquiries then replaced the fuel gauge,after that all was well.As the previous reply stated ,I think he is on the right track.
