Seems to be working OK now, we had a bit of trouble with the Coolant level sensor not working, but we sorted that (faulty fuse holder

)

So went for a drive to test the readings, cruising at 100k EGT sits around 220c to 250C, put your foot down and it starts to rise to around the 400C mark, water temp sits around 35c to 45c, oil temp around the same, oil pressure is 1.4bar at idle and 2.9/3.0 bar at speed.

So, apart from the instructions not being the best AND to be honest a little confusing

it went OK, the installation videos are easier to follow i must say, fitting the sensors was the easy part, the long and tedious part is the electrical bits, crimping, and tidying up the wires, getting them into through fire wall and crimping them.

We had it done yesterday, today was cleaning up things and fitting the unit in the dash, then setting it, this is where we had problems, 3 hrs trying to find out why the coolant level was working.

Any thoughts on these readings, do they seem OK.

Big thanks to Jan (The entertainer) for his help when things got confusing.

EGR blanking plate, i only went for a 5min drive, basically got it too running temp then home, just a few Ks then back, not a long drive, i will check that it's all tight tomorrow.

I did think the water temp a bit low though.

Pedro here's some pics of the dash

What's the tow ball to the left of the gear stick???

Looks good Baz.

I have the EMS 1 on order and will be installing it myself as well.

I imagine your oil temp is engine oil? I am deciding on which oil temp I would like to read. I am looking at auto temp as a possibility but the transfer may be critical.

I tow a 1600kg van so I am undecided. So many temp options but only one oil temp readout

Hi Baz
That water temp cant be right!!!!.
On Nanocom,starting from very cold,ie 5deg water temp,the water temp rises to 55deg on my short trip to work,just over 1km and I dont even get to use 4th gear!!!
Anychance it needs bleeding????? A run to full operating temp may be the answer.
