Alternative temp gauge

Post by southernscouse »

Which is the best hose to cut to put in a sensor point still having trouble with original gauge so need some way of watching the temp until it’s sorted. Thanks

late cooling system I'd suggest 251 121 058 A, the hose from the thermostat housing to the plastic junction as the engine coolant circulates through this regardless of whether the thermostat is open or closed
