Another thing is...the temp gauge...I checked 2 or 3 and every shows different temperature
Hi aca - thank you for that....that's what I was lookign for...I even check my resistance for temp sender (but for ECU) so now I know it's still OK....
Is it sender for gauge? is it the same for all Panda with temp gauge ?
Are you sure that it is that sender? how to check it...conect sender and earth? because there is only one pin....
Have you got more dates? (for another senders/sensors)

Hi Aca/Most Easterly Pandas
Thanks...yes I know about two type of senders...I'll check it in Panda and in Punto 16V engine (I've got access) if it's same....
Link doesn't work now, but I have to check at home
Yes Jangcy, I suppose bechause of that on the back of instrument panel, there is place for adjusting resistor to be soldered in case of diferent value of sender. See attached picOh yes...most continental Pandas have just Hi-temp warning light...most english Pandas have temp gauge
BTW....temp sender for ECU in Bosch systems has got different resistance than sender for Magnetti/Weber injection systems....(I've check it before...)
oh Yes...I founf it last time when I was fitting rev counter in to clocks...will send pictures sometimes on weekend...
and in one model I had just wire and in other I had resistor....
also there was about 3-5 liters different between fuel gauges
I Agree, suppose - bechause we have Panda - models with 42 lit fuel tank and 32 liters fuel tank, so resistor make correction of pre-resistance of fuel-level sender himselves.
Well, this morning I didn't make it to work due to the carb icing up in the last mile. Had to sit and wait for heat to soak through and limped here in the end. When testing the thermostat would peeps here expect it to hold water if filled from the hose side and turned upside down? I realise there is a reasonable size bypass, but if angled away from the bypass, the seal should prevent any water escaping, right?
or more likely the daft thermostatic flappy bit in the airbox that is supposed to open and draw air from the manifold is knackered. rip it out and bung up the cold air intake for the winter!Not had time to read the other posts since my reply, but icing up means the bit of pipe from the manifold to the airfilter box must be missing dosent it? That is there to prevent this from happening?
Jon.
hmm I've got Panda with injection and clocks were from 750 carb...you may be right...there could me some differents...I think plastic tanks are 42 and 35 liters....

Good call on that. It slipped my mind completely. The mechanism never works reliably! Rad now completely blanked off. Will see what the situation is on my commute home...or more likely the daft thermostatic flappy bit in the airbox that is supposed to open and draw air from the manifold is knackered. rip it out and bung up the cold air intake for the winter!
