Re: Water temperature gauge
I hate gauges that say "HOT" or "COLD"... how hard would it have been to write the actual temperatures on the dash?!

Re: Water temperature gauge
These are labeled ones with actual temperatures so thats good i guess.
But the hot cold gague as standard, its funny doesnt the car maker think that we know its hot, there is heat eminating from the engine bay
.
On the topic of gagues my 406 has a water temperature gague and oil temperature gague. I find it hard to see the point in having oil temperature being shown as opposed to a turbo boost gague or oil pressure.

Re: Water temperature gauge
The only thing I'd fit an aftermarket oil temperature gauge to is an air cooled engine, like a VW camper or beetle.
After all, in those there's no water to measure the temperature with!

Re: Water temperature gauge
that makes good sense in an air cooled engine. But on a turbo diesel an oil pressure gague would be more important to know the turbos getting oil.
anyhow im off to get a micra radiator with an electric fan.
