Single Temperature Sensor System – easy D.I.Y The ENGINE GUARD single temperature sensor system is an advanced digital temperature gauge with a user-adjustable audible alarm. Designed to warn you of overheating, the system will also provide very accurate real time monitoring of changes in temperature. Many owners report that they are surprised to see significant variations in engine temperature- whereas the factory temperature gauge hardly moves. This is because most factory temperature gauges only show LARGE temperature changes- typically in three stages being ‘COLD – OK – OVERHEATING’. But actual engine temperatures can change between 90°c and 110°c and the needle may not move! This is designed to give you ‘peace of mind’. Unfortunately, it can also go from “OK” to “OVERHEATING” in seconds- causing expensive engine damage. ENGINE GUARD will warn you before the damage is done! With ENGINE GUARD you can monitor small changes in temperature- and take action. And the changes are detected very, very quickly. For example, on most vehicles an ENGINE GUARD will react to starting from cold in under 40 seconds. By contrast, most factory gauges take many minutes! And the ENGINE GUARD is remarkably good at detecting temperature changes due to load. As an example, we recently completed a test: a Toyota Prado was used to see the impact of tyre pressures on engine temperature. The test revealed that at 100kmh and 30psi tyre pressure the display showed 116°c but at the same speed and 40psi the temperature drops to 112°c. So you can adjust your driving style using the accurate feedback- (for example, change to a lower gear or slow down) if you see a gradual rise in temperature- particularly if towing. Importantly the system uses a temperature sensor located directly on the metal of the engine – usually located on the cylinder head, on or near the thermostat housing. The sensor is installed like a washer under a bolt- quick and easy! And cylinder head temperature is a very ac
