How Hot Is To Hot

R32 temp gauge is normalised. Someone did a write up on how to get rid of that.

Only reason i would see the top hose not being accurate is when there is no water, apart from that, it should be ok.

You are getting a reading of Water "IN", showing that your radiator is doing its job.

Getting rid of the stock radiator was the best thing i did on my 34, its like 1cm thick :S and was not very good when thrashing the car.

Not the biggest fan of putting the temp sender in the top coolant hose I think its not the best way to do it, has anyone done anything different? What about tapping into the factory sender wire that the stock dash gauge works off? Or is that just a silly idea?

Yes I did, no need for smart answers there are already enough people on here. I wanted to know if anyone had tapped into the factory sensor wire.

That would be good, apart from the problem of corrosion. You simply cannot expect an RB to not turn into a sludgy mess if you don't have a good mix of corrosion inhibitors in with the coolant.

It says on the bottle it offers excellent corrosion resistance in all metals except magnesium, or is it a bit twisted? I was considering going this way, maybe adding corrosion inhibitor will be helpful?

bhaha guess its just me then... nah that sensor only reads hot/cold as stated above cant do actual temp numbers
