Hi folks,

Since last weekend I own a Metro-turbo-engined mini. *happy*
One of the first things I noticed is that the watertemperature on the dash stays very low.
The engine is standard Metro Turbo, also the metro's dash has been moved to my mini.
Rest of the dash works fine, besides the rev-counter that moves around too enthusiasticly.

what could the problem be?

Cheers
Greets from Holland,
Harold

First thing I'd check is if it has a thermostat in it.

What are you using to measure the water temp ? The standard guessometer or a proper gauge ?

as above check the thermostat,

after that I would see if you can get a temp reading on the header tank/ top hose,

then tanke a look at the temp sender, there were a few types over the years for different gauges you'll presumably mneed a metro turbo one to match the dash.

also it is worth checking what voltage is going to the gauge/ sensor circuit, it may need top be the same as the metro to read correctly,

The last owner sais it has a thermostat, and I presume that it works ok. He knows about the issue and sais he had the watertemperature checked and it was ok. When it gets higher the electric fan kicks in. So it seems like the gauge (original Metro Turbo) reeds or shows too little. The temp sensor would be my first guess and it's not very expensive, so maybe buy and fit that first.
