hi all,

i seem to be having a troublesum pod at the mo!

when i get the car started and start driving,i dont seem to be able to scroll thru menus on to oil temp etc. but then it may all of a sudden start working and be fine for that journey or even days,then play up again.

is this a sign, of time to replace or is it a matter of resettin somehow?


also noticed whilst in traffic the water temp goes from 94/ all the way to 108 but fans cut in and all seems ok but still reads eary 100's until start movin again.

tia.

Remove the steering wheel and check the buttons/wires they are quite flimsey and may be damaged.

Did you have the aircon on when the temp went up?

I very rarely use the aircon in my T350 and the temps reach around 96-98 when stationary. With the aircon the other day the temps were running at just over 100.

Might still be worth getting the sensors checked out and changed, although I think that the fan and the POD temp sensors are separate.

What about the cables into the pod also check the 2 serial cables into the ecu module the white ribbon ones they might need reseating.
