Thread: Got my block over-temp alarm Fitted (Engine Watchdog Tm2)

That's where the P38A is odd.

Gearbox overheat give a beep and a warning message in the dash Message Centre - but engine overheat isn't remarked on - and it's the thing that stuffs up the engines.

Re this sensor, I happened to see it on eBAy tonight then came here and saw the thread. I wonder if it reacts fast enough to loss of coolant?

I have wondered the same thing. Based on others description of the responsiveness of it relative to the temp gauge, I think it would be OK - I am very close to purchasing one...........It would be nice to see some actual tests however.
