So, my 92 XJ temp gauge is funny. Replaced sending unit twice. The rad and wp are new.
Since the temp unit is by #6, could there be a small leak that heats up the coolant at the sending unit? It does get to "red zone" after 2 miles, then drops really fast when thermostat opens.
Daily driving, gauge reads almost to the white line before red, which is what? 225, 235,245?? I have no idea. My infrared thermo on the hoses, housing and radiator all read 100% normal.
No residue on oil cap, coolant not disappearing enough to notice. no white smoke.
I'm shamefully thinking of trying a Bars type product, since I feel if there is a leak, it's very minor.
Any thoughts given my situation?
