I still have my ext temp gauge which I am still planning on fitting. If I can't manage to remove my cluster ( I broke the last one ) I'll sell it to you if you don't find one before then

Default Airbox clips

It's possible to buy stainless draw clips from Amazon or eBay (or others probably) which are a lot cheaper than those supplied by Skandix.Except that the ones supplied by Skandix come complete with fixings and draw clips don't.

Default External temp gaugeb

I need to trace the wire from the external part of this accessory.

Mine was clearly accessible where the sensor attached until I had the radiator replaced a couple of years ago.Then the wire going down to the sensor disappeared.So where does it go to from the sensor?Is there a connector block nearby?

Is there a diagram for this?

TIA

Thanks Griston, I'd appreciate that.

940VolvoMan - it could be caught up in/under the radiator pack if thats been moved? Might need to take the top retainer off and peer down between the radiators.


Just to clarify, I'm only looking for -

exterior temp gauge & sender
L shaped console trim
near side headlamp wiper motor

...and a new requirement...

940/960 saloon boot mounted electric aerial

Thanks

as for the outside temp gauge one from a 960 will do the job but the plugs are not the same I cut them off and joined the wires couler to couler and you will finde one left over the yellow if I remember rtght you can disregaurd this one and it will work fine It will come on with the acc position on ignition switch mine works fine for the last 8 years

Thats great info thanks!

I knew the sender was common to the 940/960 but wasn't aware the display could be adapted. Huge thanks for that!

I wonder what the yellow lead is for?



update to the wanted list - antenna no longer required, I've bought a new mast for it instead.
