fitting aftermarket temp guage and sender...

[Jay18]

im planning on fitting a new temp guage and sender, i have wound the kit that connects into the rad hose, but which hose should i fit it into?
bottom or top hose? i want a true reading of what the temp of the engine is not after the rad as that wont tell me the true engine temperature...

any help is appreciated...

dont completely trust the suzuki temp guage as my engine still seems very hot when it reads just under halfway...

tom, i know yours is TD but i really do like the silicone hoses and really want some on my 410 and i want to get the electric fan mod done, might gain a bit of power....

td?
its a 1.6 vit engine

yeah im going electric fans eventually just money at the moment! ive got the bigger rad and metal to do it just the fans i need

the inside diameter is 28mm i think fella

ohh i thought you had the 1.9 td conversion lol it did look like a 1.6 vit engine in the pic lol and thanks for that i will get my kit soon hehe, just need two more guages to fit as i want three on the dash and i really have to get some sort of silicone hose kit for my zuk lol...

Just make sure the gauge and sender are compatible. When you buy a gauge you often get the correct sender with it.

yeah i did have the 1.9 and i blew that up got the vitara engine in it and she goes bloody quick

ah i started to get three guages then got carried away hahaha



i only change the hoses to silicone if they split otherwise i dont bother haha

[Jay18]

yer ive seen the guages with the senders..

and i thought you had a td at some point lol, and i think i will try to make a kit up myself from a silicone hose website..

i found a kit on ebay for fitting a fan to a sj410 but it says the hose is 25mm?

only thing is the fan is £70, is it really worth it? or can i get a fan cheaper somewhere else?
