What is the gauge on the far left of the dashboard?
1 Answers
The gauge on the far left of the car dashboard is the water temperature gauge. While driving, the water temperature gauge should generally indicate the midline or slightly higher as normal. If you notice the water temperature is too high or too low, immediate maintenance is required. If the water temperature is too high, you must stop the vehicle immediately and not continue driving. If the water temperature is low, you can drive to a repair shop for inspection. Notes on the water temperature gauge: The dial is larger than the water temperature gauge and is used to measure the engine speed. Generally, the speed pointer is safe within the white scale range, while the red scale indicates a dangerous speed range. How the water temperature gauge works: The sensor of the water temperature gauge is a thermistor-type sensor, fixed with threads on the engine cooling water passage. The thermistor determines 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 liquid for car engines, but now many car engine cooling systems use specialized coolant, so it is also called the coolant temperature gauge. Normal temperature range for car water temperature: The water temperature gauge ranges from 0 to 130 degrees, with the normal temperature being the central 90 degrees. When the water temperature stabilizes at 90 degrees, it indicates that the engine's heat generation has stabilized, reaching the optimal working condition.
