No Temp Gauge

I was dismayed to see, since winter arrived, that there's no temp gauge in the car. I usually watch that to see when to turn on the heat. Am I missing something? Thanks

I installed the Marshall gauges in my MINI, fabricating my own gauge mount.

I have boost/vacuum, oil pressure, oil temperature and water temperature.

Impressive. Wish I had the aptitude to tackle a project like that.

I've had a Scangauge for about 3 years and I have been happy with it. It's nice being able to check codes when they pop up and see temps. Being able to take it from car to car is nice as well.

I just hit the auto button on the heat controls, set it to 70 degrees and the fan waits until the engine heats up until it turns on.

Scan Gauge II foes NOT read oil pressure. It reads oil temp only.

On the N18 and F56 MINIs the ScangaugeII DOES read Oil Pressure and Oil Temp now. ALL the Scangauges we sell are preprogrammed to read it now. The Scangauge is by far the best and most cost effective gauge solution.
