Temperature gauge

[krock88]

Just got my g70 twin turbo and I love it. But the lack of a termperature gauge is irritating.
Has anyone added one and if so, which brand and model? Thanks.

Im not sure what you mean. Mine has both a coolant and oil temp gauge. They don't show an exact number but they work well to show how much and how fast they come up to “normal” temp.

I do not have those gauges in my cluster. Are they some type of hidden screen that I have to find?
I have the 3.3T Sport Prestige .

Temperature gauge for what?!

Just about every car - including the G70 - has the engine coolant temp gauge on the dash. Judging by your complaint, that isn't what you are looking for. There are a multitude of temps monitored by the ECU. So what exactly are you wanting to check? Engine oil temp? Exhaust Gas Temp (EGT)? Intake Air Temp (IAT)? Transmission fluid temp?

Realistically, for everyday driving, as long as your coolant temp is rock steady in normal range, none of these other temps are likely to go way out of whack. If you live in a very warm southern region, and you're stuck in crawling traffic, maybe you might be curious about the IAT.

Get a cheap OBD2 bluetooth adapter and set up an OBD2 app on your phone to monitor any of these parameters, if you are so inclined. That's what I do at the track. For everyday driving though, I rarely bother.

As you scroll through the different options and pages in the center of the cluster, there's one that had engine coolant temp, and another that has oil temp, torque, and boost gauges. Using the right scroll wheel on the steering wheel.

Got it! Thanks so much.
