How to Check the Water Temperature Gauge on a BMW 5 Series?
1 Answers
You can directly view it through the water temperature sensor or indirectly judge it via the oil temperature gauge. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The BMW 5 Series produced by Brilliance does not have a water temperature gauge; it will only issue an alarm when the water temperature is too high. However, it is equipped with a water temperature sensor, and the small LCD display hides the water temperature reading. If you don't know how to read it, you can also infer the water temperature from the oil temperature. Many cars have a water temperature gauge on the dashboard to display the real-time water temperature condition of the car, allowing the driver to determine if the engine is functioning normally based on the water temperature reading. However, a few cars, such as the aforementioned BMW 5 Series, do not have an obvious water temperature gauge, making it quite troublesome to determine the water temperature. 2. Generally, the oil temperature is 15-20 degrees higher than the water temperature. Normal oil temperature ranges between 115-125 degrees, so the water temperature would be between 100-105 degrees. Additionally, even though the vehicle lacks a water temperature gauge, it will still issue a warning if the water temperature is too high, so owners need not worry excessively about the absence of a water temperature gauge. If a warning is issued due to excessively high water temperature, it might be due to insufficient coolant, a malfunctioning cooling system, or a faulty circulation water pump. The water temperature gauge reflects the condition of the engine, and any faults should be promptly addressed and repaired.
