Facelift Temperature Gauges

[BMB - 77]

The VC equipped cars have two temp gauges but they give different temperatures until the car is fully warmed up. Pretty significant difference!

As the top one is oil temp, and the lower the cooling water temp, I'd expect them to read different temps.

I've noticed that. The coolant gauge is pretty quick to get all 4 segments lit, but it takes ages to even get a number beside the oil temp gauge.

Exactly that, the coolant will warm up massively quicker than the oil.

I tend not to give the car any "beans" until I've got at least 90ºc on the oil temp.

Thanks. I noticed the symbols were different but was unsure of what the difference was. I always ensure both are up to temp before giving it the beans.
