Review on ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Bosch-style Line 2" Mechanical Water/Oil Temperature Gauge - Actron SP0F000053 (Black Dial Face, Black Bezel) by Steve Griffin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great price but questionable long-term reliability

Bought to replace an autometer sensor that almost had the sensor come loose. It was part of the cost and does the job very well. It is installed on a 2.0 turbocharged engine, and if the stock sensor remains just under half - even with very hard driving and hot weather, this figure will increase. Taking off a star as I've noticed that on cold starts it's sometimes unresponsive for up to a few minutes and then jumps to the actual temp. Edit: January 11, 2018 Out of service for two days. :@. Less than two years in the car. We have to pull out the sensor, look for defects. But now I doubt the long-term reliability. Another star deducted.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
