Changed temprature sender but still a problem

Changed temprature sender today but the pin when the van is of drops about a cm under the cold mark and when warms up is just above cold! Do you think the pin need taking of and putting on correctly

is the engine actually getting to running temp?, maybe the thermostat is stuck open

" the pin " you mean the needle on temp dial. shouldn't need to be moved unless its been moved wrongly before !! or gauge not getting proper info or faulty gauge.

iv got a problem with the needle on the temp gauge and the rev counter needle also, i think the problem with mines is to do with the speedo unit. i can take the speedo clocks and gauges out and reset the needles to where they should be, then put them back in and when i turn the key to start the engine the needles moves below the place where they should sit, each time i start the van those needles move down abit more and i end up with them so far down i dont get a reading lol on the rev counter when i start the engine it should sit below the 1000 revs but it sits at zero when the engine is just ticking over, when i bought the van it worked fine until i took the unit out to clean it and noticed straight away when i put the unit back in place.

Different colour code rings on sensors give different resistances, your new one has too much resistance by the sounds of it.

This is what the dial is doing

Before new sensor went in it did nothing at all

i think its to do with the gauge, my gauge is the same but the needle is sitting much lower down on the reading..
