Default Re: Water Temperature Gauge

It will work on any engine, any cooling system. That's not your problem.

You say it does not work. What does that mean? It never shows the engine getting warm?

You have put it in the "cold water line" that goes from the bottom of the radiator to the engine inlet. This water will leave the radiator close to the temperature of the outside air.

You don't say where you live, but I'm guessing it is winter there and cool. So this temperature gauge will not get very warm this time of year. In the summer it should read up around 90 degrees or so. It does not tell you the temperature of your engine, though. You need to instal it in the water outlet on the top of the engine, above the water pump, to get the engine temperature.

Let us know what happens.
