Hi guys, I just 'bout melted my Loyales 1.8 without much warning. Both my turbo cars run 1/4 gauge at temp. I noticed my gauge creep to less than 1/2 scale and return to normal. I thought time to replace t-stat then I had no power. I pulled over, it stalled and was hot! Too hot to touch much under the hood. It took over an hour on a cool eve before it would take water. Bad sender? I lost water fast from a hose that exits from mid engine and 90's down. Bad locatation for the sender?

Ive actually considered adding a temp sensor somewhere on the head or close to the top of the cylinder, so i get a true indication of temperature where it matters most
