Aftermarket temp and oil - Subaru engine
Posted: 27 Oct 2018, 11:14
Hi
Anyone installed aftermarket water temp and oil pressure (or temperature) guages ? (Having successfully knackered the original one by attempting to disable permanently blinking (literally) light ) -
I would like to have warning that'll shout with a degree of accuracy if somethings going wrong with engine, water and oil wise... At moment I'm relying on my spider senses such as a sniffing of the engine and temperature of heater output in the cab
I see brickwerks do a nice little pod for the ash tray place -
any advice on plumbing in/attaching water and oil sensors to the EJ20 block.
When I understand how they work - I will also make the water level probe alert me to low coolant level - I have a few little 12v buzzers.... - what witchcraft makes the 2 probe in the water things work - out of water do they break or make a circuit ?
Thanks
Matt
