Only way to know for sure if gauge is reading correctly is to check it...
I've used this in the past and swear by it... http://www.mainelycustombydesign.com/engin...s.html#dipstick Once you pull over and check the dipstick gauge a few times, and relate it back to what the vdo gauge says, then you have clear idea of your operating temp. Each car can be a bit different, but in my findings of at least 5 different 914's, between the M and P is 235ish and is to warm for me for everyday driving. Ferg |
