Not long ago the XU5 JA was indicating on the second to last bar of the temp gauge even though it was nowhere near overheating. It had been middle of the dial since fitting. I replaced it with another correct part and the gauge sat at midway.
I have run it with no problems for about 1500km, but today the needle flicked straight to the top of the scale on startup.
I wriggled the sensor connection but had no improvement.
Water level was down a bit, but took no more than a cup full.
A 12km drive showed no shift. After stopping I flicked the ignition on and the needle was reading correctly at about middle of the range.
Starting up again soon after had the needle go to the top and I cannot get it to read in the normal range again.
Any suggestions about what might be going on would be very helpful.
