If the temperature gauge is to remain up past the 260 mark, there could be many problems. If no problems are in existence then the simple work of replacing a fuse or wire could correct the thermostat to show the actual temperature.

With respect to gages Boyle's law shows the relationship between?

Boyle's Law says that PV is constant for ideal gas at a constant temperature. The pressure used should be the absolute pressure, not the gage pressure. Ge the absolute pressure should be obtained using : P = PG + PE where PG = gage pressure ( kPag , psig, etc. ) PE = barometric pressure ( kPaa, psia, etc. ) P = absolute pressure ( kPaa , psia, etc. ) ( PG + PE ) ( V ) = Constant for constant temperature The g in kPag and in psig indicates gage pressure.


How do you find gage pressure?

Gage pressure is the difference between atmospheric pressure and absolute pressure. If you fill your tire to 35 psi as read on a tire gage, this is the gage pressure. The absolute pressure inside the tire is the pressure of the atmosphere (14.7 psi normally at sea level) plus the gage pressure.


How do you fix a 2001 VW Golf temperature gage that 'warms up' to 160 degrees then goes back to zero?

find the temperature sensor sending unit, and have it checked or changed. make sure all of the wiring connected is tight. hope it helps. duboff

What is amp rating for 10 gauge fuse link?

A 10 Gage wire will carry 30 amps. But if you are talking 10 Gage fusible link wire then that's different, a fusible link wire is a delayed fuse & will melt if over loaded. The general rule of thumb in the automotive trade is use a fusible link wire 2 Gage smaller then the load wire. If you are using a 10 Gage wire then you should protect the circuit with 14 Gage fusible link. I hope this helps!

What would cause my temperature gage to remain up past 260 degrees after removing the bad thermostat I didn't replace it just removed it. How do I get the gage to read proper temperature?

You can't do that. You can remove the center of the thermostat, the part with the spring, but there has to be something restricting the water flow or the water goes through the radiator too fast. It doesn't have time to cool down. The temp is probably right. If the gauge reads hot as soon as you turn the key on, before the engine is even warmed up I would suspect the temp sending unit has failed. Locate the sending unit and unplug it, the gauge should read cold, if so replace the sending unit.
