Does the Geely King Kong have a water temperature gauge?

Geely King Kong has a water temperature gauge. Water temperature gauge: The sensor of the water temperature gauge is a thermistor-type sensor. It is fixed to the engine cooling water passage with threads. The thermistor determines the magnitude of the current flowing through the coil winding of the water temperature gauge, thereby driving the pointer to swing. In the past, tap water was used as the cooling water for car engines. Nowadays, many car engine cooling systems use specialized coolant. Therefore, it is also called a coolant temperature gauge. Oil pressure gauge: The sensor of the oil pressure gauge is a piezoresistive sensor. It is fixed to the engine oil pipeline with threads. The oil pressure pushes the contact piece to move on the resistor, changing the resistance value, which affects the amount of current passing through the instrument to the ground, driving the pointer to swing. Since oil pressure has a certain pressure range, for clarity, many car oil pressure gauges now use indicator lights. If the light remains on while the engine is running, it indicates that the engine lubrication system may be abnormal. Voltmeter: It is used to remind that the battery voltage is insufficient and needs to be charged in time.

As a long-time owner of the Geely King Kong, having driven it for four to five years, I can provide some clear insights. The base model indeed doesn't come with a traditional water temperature gauge, only equipped with a warning indicator light. When you start the car, if the water temperature is normal, the light won't illuminate; however, if it overheats—due to low coolant or a clogged radiator, for example—it will flash to alert you. This design is quite practical for an economical family car, eliminating the need for a complex dashboard. My driving habit is to glance at the dashboard every time before starting the engine to ensure safety. If the light comes on, I immediately pull over to check, preventing potential engine damage. Overall, even without a water temperature gauge, this warning system is reliable enough. Combined with regular coolant changes, it can save you a lot of trouble.

I usually enjoy tinkering with car repairs and have helped friends deal with the coolant temperature issues on several Geely Kingkong models. Most Kingkong models use a sensor paired with a warning light system, not a real-time thermometer. If you see the coolant temperature warning light on the dashboard, there's likely an issue with the cooling system—it could be a faulty fan, a leaking water pump, or aging wiring. Based on my experience, this setup is simple, efficient, and makes diagnosing problems easier. I recommend car owners check the coolant color and level every six months and clean the dust off the radiator fins. If you make a mistake, like driving without the cap, the warning light will alert you in time, preventing major repairs. Maintaining this habit can extend your car's lifespan.

As a new driver behind the wheel of a Geely King Kong, I'm paying close attention to safety issues. After consulting experienced drivers, I learned that although it doesn't have a water temperature gauge, it does have a warning light. While driving, I just need to keep an eye on the dashboard - if the light comes on, it means the temperature is too high and I should pull over. As a novice, I find this system quite convenient since I don't need to nervously monitor temperature numbers. Daily maintenance is simple too - I check the coolant every time I refuel to prevent potential issues.
