gq td42 aftermarket temp gauge

Post by revn211 »

been looking at installing an aftermarket temp gauge seeing as the factory one isnt the most accurate, has anybody done this and if so where did you you connect it up to, i still want to retain the factory sensor but that looks like the only place to mount it!

Thanks Lee..

Get a VDO gauge, and replace the OEM sensor with the VDO one to get accurate temps...

I didnt at first and its not accurate

Hey Bogged,

Where did you tap in for the sensor on your new gauge?

What size did you use?

used the original spot. took a while to get the sender to fit though
having said that the sender shit itself, and went back to OEM, never got round to changing back.
