vic Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Just bought a 2010 Forester 2.5X Premium. It has no engine temperature gauge, just idiot lights. I would really like to get a real temperature gauge for it. Anyone have suggestions on what to get and how to install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Scangauge. Plugs into the OBD2-Canbus port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 The idiot light is going to tell you if it reaches an unsafe temperature. At which point you shut it down, fix the problem, change the oil, and drive on. I don't see the need for a gauge and frankly it's under warantee so I wouldn't F' with it unless you want to void your warantee. For the time being just leave it alone and if something really goes south then Subaru is going to pick up the tab anyway. As mentioned, the OBD-II port can supply a lot of information if you really need to know the exact temp. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
