Auber egt gauge settings

[**Discovery300Tdi**]

Just put in a egt gauge and went for a spin. Now it counts upwards and when it gets to 200 I get EEEE. Then when it cools down below 200 it's ok until it hits 200. I chaned the setting from F to C so it reads in celcius so that's how far I got. Just wondering how do u set the peak temp when u want the alarm to go off? Also when the car is switch on it reads -0052 just worried about the minus symbol.

Thanks guys

That seems a bit low mate, readings of 400+ should be the norm, with the alarm set at 720.

Ya i know baz but thats when the car has not been driven around and is still cold. thing is it hits 200 then i get the EEEE and when it cools down it starts to count down. reckon the setting need a tweak here and there but cant understand the bloody instrucstions.

i need to set it higher but dont know where and how.

From the attached document:


Error message. If the meter displays “EEEE”, it indicates the EGT sensor is not connected correctly or is faulty. To confirm the problem, you can short terminal 6 and 7 with a wire. If the meter displays the ambient temperature you can be 100% certain that the problem is due to the sensor.

Thanks mate thats what i needed!!! went and had a look allll good now, must have had a bad power connection as i took out the power and negative and put it back in and all is good. just wondering is the unit meant to beep or anything when you go over your set limit???? i just set it to 220 and nothing happened as i wanted to see if it rang or not.

To get an audible warning, you have to connect a buzzer to terminal 5 as shown in the diagram. They are only a couple of dollars from Jaycar (http://www.jaycar.com/productView.asp?ID=AB3462).

As Paul said, you need to wire in a buzzer for an audible alarm (the terminals for this are provided).

They have a built in visual alarm, an led to the right of the display, that should have illuminated when the alarm setting value was reached.

Well that's just it I set the alarm to go off at 220 just to see what it does and I got nothing. Driving around with a cold engine I hit around 375 mark and if I gave it a squirt here and there I just hit 400 when the engine was at operating temp. But yeah nothing on the alarm visable.

So this unit is meant to climb up in digits when driving and when ur off the throttle it goes back down?

It'll go up and down,put your foot down=more fuel up goes the temp,take your foot off=less fuel temp goes down.If it's working properly it should never stay still unless your on a straight at steady speed. Pat

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

Anyone got a link to the website for these??
Was looking at autometer unit but open to others.
Costs and where to get would be cool too.
Cheers

Yeah that's exactly what's it's doing it's never still unless I'm on a straight with a steady pedal. Thanks pat.

What probe do you use for a D1?

And do you just drill and tap a hole in the blanking plate and put it in there?

Yesterday i ended up putting in a EGT gauge which i got from Auber thats located in the states. Great little unit and i decided to go with the blue for something different. I got the 6 mm dia type-K thermocouple, including 2.5m stainless-steel braided cable from Ian of Thermogaurd with the 1/8" BSP stainless-steel compression fitting a 300Tdi mounting plate drilled and tapped to 1/8" BSP.

do you know why they got the blue one? because I asked for it...never had blue before then only red,green.....

I asked for blue to match the rest of my dash.....the bloke was really nice and said he would have a chat with the people that make them and get back to me....took about 4months but he did it..

I too have bluee one sitting here ready to mount.. i Have had it a couple of months now:(...just not had the time to fit it

Hi there

I recently chipped by td5 defender, and would like to fit an EGT guage.

I recently found myself wanting to buy something totally unrelated to my Landy from Auber instruments, and the site was familiar having seen references to people buying EGT guages from there here on AULRO. So I figure while I'm picking up this other thing, I might as well get whatever I need to monitor EGT's.

Problem is, I have no idea what I need.

I assume one of these

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/03/404.jpg

But what sort or probe/sensor and other bits do I need?

EGT Probes : auberins.com, Temperature control solutions for home and industry (http://www.auberins.com/index.php'main_page=index&cPath=5_22)

As you can tell from my question, I have no idea about this stuff, and will be getting someone else to fit it, so just want to make sure I pick up the right parts.

If there are options, I'd be grateful for any advice to sort between them.

Thanks, Tim

this one is the one I get for EGT installs:

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/03/402.jpg

Or its longer cousin, all are "K" type thermocouples.

Or buy the kit through ebay:
