is my temperature sensor f**ked up?

cheori · Feb 21, 2005

Well, after installation of audio system, I noticed how my temperature on the screen always shows somewhere around 7 degrees. Thought it was just a weather..

Well tonight, I am pretty sure it's way below than 11 degrees... when I start the car it was showing 11 degrees, as I drive, the temperature went down to 3-4 degrees. Is this suppose to be like this? or is the temperature suppose to be at around what it actually is when I start the car?

Only modification I have is 5 channel amp and speakers in front door, woofer, and T1R voltage stablizer..

Thanks in advance.

I think the temp sensor is the most accurate when you drive it for a while after you start your car.

hey cheori..do u notice anything with the t1r installed??

throttle response..
mpg..
anything? im thinkin of getting one

a lot of ppl either say its useless or they swear by it

mine is like that too...started up a little off...drive it for a while...then it dropped back to correct temp.

mine is pretty acurrate...

within 3 degree between starting and after being driven for a while.....

i see. cause my friend's BMW 3 series was displaying -0.5 degrees while mine was displaying 4 degress. then when we started driving, mine fell down to -1 in about 10 minutes of driving..

T1R, to be honest, I am not too sure. lol. I got it when I first got the car, I think it does help a bit, but I think it would work best if there are ground kit installed as well.. I heard Sun Auto's Hot Inazma is way better than this one, but I couldn't find it on the local dealers, so I am stuck with this one for now. If I ever find it, I might give that a try..

vote for blue...lol

btw...the T1R voltage stabilizer does give better throttle response..
as i tried dat b4...it does help...i can really feel the difference after the stabilizer installed...

OK, damn it, you and Zigen really need to start a translation site or post up a dictionary for all the combination of smilies you use in a post.

Trying to read your posts is like reading those wordless comics and then trying to figure out what the story is. :laugh:

My imagination is used up at work, trying to think of creative ways of breaking things.

I don't have enough left to figure out smilies.
