Re: No Temperature Gauge

My 08 has a temperature gauge, I don't know how or where the gauge gets it's input. With a universal gauge kit with electric gauges you may have to fabricate a way to attach a sender maybe in the upper water hose, I doubt there is a fitting that can be removed to install a sender. Look for one in the thermostat outlet. If you use a tube
type with a bulb sensor you should be able to insert in in the top water hose under the clamp. It will be hard to seal because the system is pressurized.

The switch for the oil pressure light is near the oil filter. The switch is closed with low oil pressure. You could install a mechanical gauge fitting between the oil pressure switch and the block. Another possible leak area.

I have not tried my suggestions but anyone good with tools shouild be able to figure out a way to install both gauges. Will it be easy? Probably not.

My Honda Fit doesn't have a temp gauge but I'm not going to try installing one.
