AEM Temperature Gauge 30-4402 Water Temp, Oil Temp, Trans Temp

[chackers]

Will threadlocker seal the threads adequately, or is it necessary to use teflon tape? It could be that I just didn't use enough teflon tape and/or I applied it incorrectly, but I think the oil might have dissolved it. Thanks for your help.

I have a temp gauge that may have a "bug". The leds around the rim occasionally don't light up until greater than 173*F. Can I arrange with AEM to exchange?

[angry4nus]

does that temp sender unit require it to be in metal to metal contact with the engine to function(grounded with engine)? thanks

[AEMonly]

@angry4nus Nope, it's a resistance-style sensor so while the gauge needs a ground the sensor does not.

Does your Water / Coolant Temperature Sensor Kit AEM Part# 30-2011 work for oil temperature? I have a digital temp gauge but the sensor and connector was cut off. If I can use this kit, it'd be way cheaper than to buy a whole new gauge

[AEMonly]

@rreign0311 Yes it does, both the analog and digital gauges come with a faceplate for oil temp.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE CAN I FIND A GAUGE THT MESUR's THE AIR TEMPERATURE ONLY!!!

[AEMonly]

@mdrgstankovic2 Where do you want to measure air temp? In the manifold or ambient temp?

[mdrgstankovic2]

@AEMonly

well to be honest i want to meshure the temperature of my pc xDD

He discusses the installation starting at :45, and it is honestly pretty simple. If you're not sure how to install the sensor, have a shop install it. As stated, it has a 1/8th NPT sensor that can also be put straight into an existing 1/4 or 3/8 inch sensor mount with the included adaptors. What kind of car do you have and what do you want to monitor - oil, coolant or trans temp?

Still did not tell me how to Install it into my car. On your discription, it says "Features and installation of the guage"

[habbousa01]

Should be installation in the car.

@habbousa01 What else is there to explain, the black goes to ground, like a bolt or screw that touches metal, the red is ignition, if you don't know what that is, use your red stereo wire, then route harness through firewall and unscrew your old oil temp sensor and screw in the knew unit that plugs into the harness. Done.
