Overheating can permanently damage your engine and transmission

Standard temperature indicators on vehicles sometimes provide engine temperature information. But if you’re focused on driving, you may miss the temperature going into the RED until it is too late and your engine is damaged. 

Most vehicles do not provide any warning at all of damaging transmission temperatures. If you are 4WD’ing or towing a caravan, boat, trailer etc, your transmission and engine will be working hard, increasing the temperature.  The temperature of the transmission can also become excessive during highspeed highway driving.

In addition to monitoring engine temperature, one of the most effective ways of monitoring overall engine performance is to display the exhaust gas temperature (EGT).  The EGT is also useful for tuning the fuel trim on petrol or diesel engines. However most vehicles do not display the EGT at all.

The Engine, Transmission and EGT Temperature Gauge monitors and provides early warning of overheating with a visual and audible temperature alarm you can set.

The gauge kit includes;

• Dash gauge suitable for vehicle dashboards and surface mounting.
• Two digital temperature sensors which bolt onto the engine block and transmission housing. The temperature range for each sensor is  -25°C to +125°C (-13°F to +257°F).
• One EGT sensor including probe and exhaust welding bung (option mild steel or stainless). The EGT temperature range is 0°C to 1024°C (32-1875°F).
• Cables and mounting hardware for 12 volt vehicles (longer cables to suit particular vehicles and 24 volt options available).
