Vacuum gauge

Why Vacuum or performance gauges are useful for seeing the condition of your engine.

Why Vacuum or performance gauges are useful for seeing the condition of your engine.

Vacuum or performance gauges give information about the condition of the engine.They are calibrated in mercury inches (in. Hg), usually from 0 to 30, and record the difference in pressure between the outside atmosphere and the inlet manifold.

Performance gauges also have coloured sectors to mark different engine conditions. When an engine is in good condition, at idling speed the indicator needle should be steady in the 17-21 in. Hg range (a green sector).At driving speed, the needle should be in the 10-18 in. Hg range—the higher the better (a blue sector).

Steady, but low, vacuum readings can indicate retarded ignition or weak compression on cylinders.  Fluctuating vacuum readings indicate an ignition fault or lack of compression on one or more (but not all) cylinders. A very low vacuum reading usually indicates a leaking inlet manifold.

Some possible fault using a vacuum gauge

Vacuum or performance gauges

Steady reading below 5 in. Hg shows leaking manifold or carburettor gasket or possible injection air leak.

Why Vacuum or performance gauges are useful for seeing the condition of your engine.

Weak valve springs cause the needle to swing back and forth erratically when you press the accelerator. A fast, vibrating reading between 14 and 19 points to worn valve guides.

Between 8 and 14 in. Hg is an indication of incorrect valve timing . A reading dropping 3-5 in. Hg from normal indicates a sticking valve or worn contact breaker in older cars.

Vacuum or performance gauges are useful for seeing the condition of your engine.

When the needle drifts between 5 and 19 in. Hg the cause may be a compression leak between two or more cylinders.If reading drops to zero and re-turns to 22 while revving, piston rings may be worn.

A reading that is consistently higher than normal (17 to 21 in. Hg) indicates a blocked air cleaner air or carburettor.

A reading that is consistently higher than normal (17 to 21 in. Hg) indicates a blocked air cleaner or carburettor air fault.

Water temperature gauge

Why the Water temperature gauge is important

 

Why the Water temperature gauge is important and how it works and why it is essential on older and modern cars.

 

A water temperature gauge gives an early warning if the engine is running too hot or too cool.

Allow the vehicles engine to get to temperature. After a cold start the needle should reach the normal setting after about 3 miles 5 kmh. Do not drive very hard before it does in cold weather.

Allow the vehicles engine to get to temperature.

In town or or stop-start driving traffic and in hot weather, the water temperature in the cooling system may rise above the normal — 80-88°C — range but should not reach the hot mark this is around 95°+ depending on engine check your cars normal temperature  .

If the needle rises abnormally on the open road, stop and investigate at once. Unless the thermostat has stuck the cause will probably be.

  • Broken fan belt (replace if auxiliary item)
  • Leaking or blocked radiator (check for leaks but also internal blocks or even bag or paper blown over front of radiator)
  • Broken or split hose (check for cracks or insecure clips)
  • Possibly a water pump. (May be worn such as bearings or damage blades heavy corrosion)
  • Cooling Fan(fans) possibly sender unit or fuse not activating at temperature blocked Debre dirt)

 

Caution! Always Let the engine cool before removing the radiator cap.

Top up with coolant. Or in emergency to get you home clean water (hot, if possible) or water from the windscreen washer allow engine to cool first.

Important!  re-flush system with correct coolant as soon as possible.
