Why You Should Fit an OIL Temp Gauge

[Niallyboy]

As the title say's .......
I was headding to a job the other night when i looked
at the Oil Temp Gauge , which read just under 140 C :shock: :shock:.

The water temp gauge had risen a small bit but on checking Apexi Hand controller
it was at 110 C . and rising quickly

I pulled over and rang (8:30pm) Adam Huzzy and fair play he came straight out to
help towe me back to his gagrge................thankfully it turned out to be the hose from
the turbo to engine block had gone ........ New hose , oil change and all is well
BIG THANKS TO ADAM

Anyway my whole point been, if i did not have the oil temp gauge i would not of know, well
not until it was to late .

Definitly worth considering for anyone who dosn't have one fitted
