Title: Aftermarket water temp gauges
Post by: JasonC on December 04, 2009, 02:35:36 PM
Can anyone recommend a decent water temp gauge? Im wondering if its best just to stick to the usual hks, greddy et al or is there anything cheaper thats still pretty good? :Giggle

After a coolant hose burst last night i\'ve got temperature paranoia now and reckon i should really should get a better temp gauge than the stock one.
Cheers.

any gauge will do the job, but as with everything..... if you want quality you have to splash the cash :(

if you don\'t get that, look at the spa digital ones, they\'re not cheap as chips but they are good

Perhaps also get an oil temp gauge as that heats up before the water - there will be a lot of water to heat up before it increases in temperature, wheras the oil is in direct contact :)

R spec gauges are gash. Avoid.
