Prosport gauges
 
Right - fitted both oil temp and pressure gauges and finally got no leaks!

Anybody know what the max oil temp warning should be set at - I'm setting the oil pressure at 2.5 Bar but is there a way to stop the gauges coming on with ACC and only once engine is running as the warning alarm goes off all the time the ignition is on!

I would like to know too mate, it's a fookin pain with the ignition on and engine not started, like fookin tinitus!!!

Just nipped out and looked at mine. The temp is set at 100oC, but TBH never normally goes over 90oC.

As for the ignition farce, I haven't found a way, but I have turned those bloody bleeps off so at least its silent.

Are you sure the Red wire is connected to a permanant live (ignition off) source?

All wired in 'correctly' storing data etc. It's the acc feed that's the issue as it turns the gauge on when live, but as the warning for oil pressure is a low warning the alarm goes off constantly when the engine is not running - I need to find a feed that is only live when the engine is running (not acc).

Have you got aircon? Take the feed from there or run the live through a switch to turn on as required?

I've gone for the mute option!! Much easier!

admin 13-04-2011 06:39 PM

But then you don't get the alarm if theres a problem? (IIRC)

It will still flash - also I'll un-mute when on track and at risk.
