Dipstick oil temp gauge ?

Post by Haans »

All,...the head temp topic is very informative and topical,........how's that for "smart" english ?😜

But,....a while ago,....and that could mean a year or more ago (depending on your age)🤣,.....
I have seen a temp gauge thinghy in the dipstick port,....but did not think to ask more about it

Is it still available, price and where.?

Regards

No sense being pessimistic. It wouldn't work anyway.

Don't know, I bought one from Muderick a while back.
It works well and has saved my Ghia from overheating.

I'll be doing an import later this year. If there is enough demand, I'll add a few to my shopping list
