 Hello everyone, after being on the 914 club for almost a year, I finally decided to join the 914 world. I don't know what the story is but there has to be something in common here, other than the main topic of course... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Now to the main subject. I was driving on the highway at about 70-75mph for about a half hour yesterday and this is what my temperature gauge was showing. The outside temperature was about 80-85 SoCal. [img] As a matter of fact, the guage takes the longest time to get up. So, I guess there is only two things that can be wrong, the guage or the sensor in the taco plate. Is there a simple way to verify them? Is there some measurement that I can do with a standard voltmeter? Thank you |

QUOTE i have a short red gauge and mine stays up high but never gets to red but it still worries me when i see it that high. i just wanna cover it up so i dont' worry so much lol That's why I'm told on the later models they moved the red mark further to the right. That gives you an idea as to how much information the temp gauge actually gives you. |
