Essential gauges, which one to fit first?

I resemble that remark!

 

reckon its custom, copied pic from web

 

I could watch the almost certain thunderstorm arriving when in switzerland

 

that's my kind of guy - sound advice, I'll take it

 

mmm i did once, then 7 weeks in hospital, not nice (but all sorted now)

 

I think i'm tending towards spending the cash on paragliding, drinking Gin and eating well!! and admiring the Bus Ha!

 

He's right. I reckon the reason they never fitted a temp gauge (which they could easily have done) is that the think would be going up and down like a mad thing, terrifying customers...

 

You forgot the loose women...

 

a petrol gauge that works would be wonder full,

 

wonder why they fit them in all other cars then

 

Just done what all modern cars have -built a led one

 

ok but i was talking about a temperature gauge at that time :surprise:

 

They didnt in the 70's though did they ,though you just had a fuel gauge and water temp?

 

Though few and far between some modern cars only have a fuel gauge with maybe a warning light for high temp

 

pends what car you had , but it is what it is a gauge , if you dont have one you cant gauge , aeroplanes have them . At least with a water cooled engine you have steam as a gauge . Why do people dish people for taking precautions or wanting to be aware thats what i dont understand ?

 

Who dissing ?

 

some

 

I can't think of a 70s car that didn't have a (water) temp gauge. If VW had fitted an oil or (worse) head temp gauge, it would've been up and down like a friendly lady's underwear, terrifying customers. So they left it off, presumably.

 

I've never worried about not having a temperature gauge, however I do think that it is a useful precautionary bit of kit that can be used to stave off a complete disaster. I wouldn't be too worried about it showing varying results but if it started to hit the red line I'd know I had a problem and be able to pull over before it was too late. Of course they're not necessary but to some desirable.
