Seems to jump when temperature rises, doesn't always seem to read

I really liked the look, installation was pretty easy although I had to buy a separate part to fit my car, there's no room for it set this down as soon as i got this piece it was a cake. Just make sure you put it as close to the block as possible to get the best possible reading

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some issues

Works well, easy to install with included adapters, easy to read

Easy to install. Comes with different size adapters that bolt directly to my race car. I like the white scales - even though all my other scales are black, I wanted this one to stand out. Perhaps the most important sensor on a racing car monitors the temperature of the water in the engine. It works well and won't break the bank

Accurate sensor, easy to install.

I bent my last one too much removing the motor so I bought this single sensor and liked that I didn't pay for the mount as I already have it have. When converting old cars, I like to use these mechanical sensors because it's so quick and easy. I love that you get 3 color options for the backlight. The blue ended up looking turquoise which was perfect for my hot rod theme.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Equus temp sensor good for electrics

Very easy to install and works well. I have this on my 84 chevy k10 to replace all the old sensors. They fit the hole very well and fit snugly, but the screw holding them in place hits the inside of the dash so I had to pay to keep them in place. It's tight in the hole so it doesn't move to begin with, but I wanted to make sure it didn't pop out. Glows brightly and is easy to read day or night. Very happy with all the Equus headlights I have fitted to the truck. Some people say they suck, I've…

Pros
  • Great for small homes
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

The capillary tube is very fragile

The capillary tube on this gauge is junk, I'm not sure if it wasn't defective when it was packaged as all the wire is twisted inside the package. I didn't check it before installing, my fault. It took me a couple of weeks to finally finish the build and yes the water temp sensor didn't work and I can't return it at the moment. I will be switching to an electric model which is not my choice as I have more wires through everything I had to drill into the firewall and there is no room to get a…
