Re: Temp gauge inaccurate
By the way I'm really talking degrees not percent.
+/- 1 degree is acceptable
+/- 5 degrees is not.
There's a big difference between +15C and +20C
Same for the negative numbers :-)

Re: Temp gauge inaccurate
Hell, mine will start off ~+6-8 degrees and start cooling down a tad a i
get moving. Once the engine warms up it throws it off again though.

Re: Temp gauge inaccurate
The sensors may be better than 5%... but the analog gauge movement is
more like 5%.

more like 5%.
