Re: Temp Gauge
I doubt they're still available but have you tried contacting VDO? You can also try surplus retailers like Great Lakes Skipper.tonyiiiafl wrote:Source of the post....Has anyone seen a source for this temp gauge?...
Have you confirmed the temp at the sender with an IR temp gun?
You have closed cooling right?
What temps are both engine running at?

Re: Temp Gauge
I am going to buy an IR temp gun this week and see where things really are.
You all are the best.
Best,

Re: Temp Gauge
It’s not a hard thing to do and is some I add to my annual maintenance routine.

New gauges 9As port was a bit erratic) and now sits at 160 at idle, still need to take it out. Starboard is running around 165-168 at idle. I can see it go up and thermostat open and go down. I bought a couple of Sierra gauges as they had the 100 to 220 range as teh VDO have. Now looking for a sensor that is 100 to 220
I'm wondering if you don't really have a sticky thermostat. You really shouldn't see the temp go up and down with a constant load. As it approaches the set temperature it starts to open, so even before it's fully open additional cooling is happening. If there's not enough heat being generated, it should never fully open and just regulate the flow based on the set temperature.
