How to Install a Water Temp Gauge!!

[@frederikwind6205]

Living in Queensland Australia, the last mod we would ever even contemplate would be to block off an air vent! Our coldest winter days are still over 75 degrees F so pillar pods are the only option, or pressing that odometer button 4 times then 5 times if on a decent trip. But I enjoy the Rusty vids.

[@darrenmicklewright2008]

Did you know on the astra vxr there is actually a spare 1/8 hole in the side of the block right next to the oem temp sensor . It is a square headed bolt bolted in so you just simply screw out bolt and screw temp sensor straight in obviously using teflon first but a ideal place without having to cut pipes and you will get a more accurate reading and you can also see the temps warming up , this took me a long time to figure out so I hope it helps you in the future when installing temp gauges

[@alanmoffat9413]

Do you have a link for a size of sensor that would take

[@sebastianrachmaciej1797]

Is it the square one to the left of the temperature sensor?

[@darrenmicklewright2008]

@@sebastianrachmaciej1797 yes mate it's a square headed gold screw that you can use your imagination to unscrew and it leaves a perfect 1/8 thread ready for a new sensor to go straight in

What did you use to block the vents? Sponge?

Have you got a link for the whole kit?

[@bigo9293]

How come you didn't tap in to the oem temp sensor on the car already bud? No hate just curious as I'll be fitting one soon on mine.

[@kingmadheadtrev1985]

What wires can I use please could u help

[@FFSChosen]

Would you be able to provide the parts that you used? Just so I order the right ones and correct fitments as well as a good sensor for better reading the temp! Cheers

Hi there what exhaust is on Jack's car sounds epic ps great video

[@vitaqo]

Please could you tell me, where did you find a ground point?

[@RustyAutos]

You can ground the water temp to a bolt on the chassis under the plastic cover on the side of the centre console

[@vitaqo]

@@RustyAutos thank you mate!

[@RustyAutos]

No problem buddy!

[@christaylor1753]

Just noticed the boost gauge sitting at -20 on idle , mine sits at -30 on idle can you tell me why ? Cheers

[@RemyFioretti]

because every engine in a car create succion (venturi effect), so that makes negative pressure. on a NA car, you don't need jauge because it will not reach the ambiant air pressure at 1kpa (around 14psi). This value, in a boosted engine is set for a 0psi or 0bar in boost. that is the natural air pressure and anything above zero is in fact the turbine job creating more pressure than the ambiant one, like 0.7bar or like 8psi more than the the ambiant pressure. a value below zero to zero is the engine running with no boos effect, just the venturi : air intake that your chamber and stroke suck relative to the piston gowing to the top dead end (little effect) and the exhausted gas when the valve is open (majority of the effect)

[@vitaqo]

It is not better to put the sensor to the heating pipe?

[@RustyAutos]

No mate, as the thermostat will be open anyway if theres any problems if it doesnt move then u know the thermostat is sticking too

[@vitaqo]

Rusty Autos you have right. But before the thermostat open, the water circulate in the heathing circle. And this water circulate cylinder head. But if anything is wrong, this water will be hot first.

[@jackdriver9311]

Just installed mine and it’s not rising in temp when cars running but heaters are red hot any idea rusty?

[@RustyAutos]

Is the thermostat open yet?

[@camnicklin7153]

carbon fibre pillar pod?

Have you got a link to the gauge please?

[@ryancoghlan84]

What size is the connector piece?

[@jtg3154]

hi great video, where did you get the temp sensor from?

[@RustyAutos]

From ebay mate with the gauge, most gauges come with them

[@petereastwood9791]

Hey guys I have just received a gauge im going to fit to my astra. It says 1 wire should go to permanent live. But this makes no sense to me any ideas ??

[@MRScrewPacker]

Good stuff mate, I have some questions 😊 after you drained all the coolant out, how much is needed to refill to the correct level? Also I'm guessing to bleed, just leave cap off and put heating on max for 5mins? Cheers pal

[@RustyAutos]

Thanks mate, you fill it up till your coolant bottle is half full, run the car and allow the air to escape naturally whilst topping it up, then the correct level is displayed on the bottle itself

[@khuramnasar549]

Wait a min. So hitting 100 degrees is normal? And nothing to worry about? What temp should you be worried at blowing something?

[@RustyAutos]

110 mate somethings wrong

@@RustyAutos so isn't it better to put it on the pipe before the thermostat so you get the temp as the coolant warms up??

[@RustyAutos]

@@darrenmicklewright2008 once its opened for the first time it is has to allow coolant to flow thro (topping it up dont allow it to pass through untill the thermostats opened) So after the first time its been read it will give a true reading all the time as there is now coolant there to read from

I still dont understand Vauxhalls logic for doing away with a very important temperature guage.Yes i know you can press that trip button 4 times holding down on 4th press with ignition at 2 clicks then trip button 5 times to show temperature.
