Water Temp Gauge

I have a 2011 MCS, and I don't like the idea of not having a water temperature gauge. Who makes an easy to install, good looking water temp gauge for a reasonable price?

Try a ScanGauge.

I agree. You can buy Scan gauge 2 at any autozone or they can order for you.
$160.00 plugs into your OBD. Simple and you can monitor other interests at the same time

Or is you have a fairly late model Garmin (4 digit model), you can buy just the bluetooth dongle that plugs into the OBDII port and get everything that the scaguage does and not have another gauge pod thingy on your dash.

I used to be paranoid about not having a temp gauge too, but after driving 45K in my '09 and seeing how it works, I don't seem to pay much attention to it anymore. It's still fun to watch the boost pressures, intake air temps and such tho...

BTW, don't be alarmed when you see your water temp at 220 or so, that's where it runs on the newer cars.
