vw oil temp gauge electrical vs mechanical

In terms of appearance, the electronic thermostat has beautiful appearance, power-off memory and other functions, and the key operation is convenient. In terms of temperature control, the electronic thermostat can automatically operate after setting a temperature, which is intuitive, and also contains programming, and the temperature control accuracy is more accurate. In terms of price, the price of the electronic thermostat is generally 2-3 times higher than that of the mechanical thermostat. In terms of quality, the service life of the two is the same, and the mechanical thermostat will be more durable

1.The fuel gauge shows the remaining fuel quantity in the fuel tank. Generally, f means full, e means empty, and there are some scales between F and E, which roughly indicate the fuel quantity. When the fuel quantity is small, a small lamp will be lit to remind the driver that it is time to refuel;

2.The thermometer is the water temperature gauge. Since the engine is generally water-cooled, the normal working temperature is about 85-90 ℃. Some water temperature meters have temperature degrees, such as 60 degrees to 120 degrees. Some don't read books, and only use red scales in the high temperature range;

3.Generally speaking, the water temperature is low when you first start the car, and the pointer points to the low temperature range; At the normal working temperature, the pointer generally points to the middle area, and when the water temperature is too high, there will generally be another small light prompt;

4. Generally, if the water temperature deviates from the middle scale by a small amount, there is no big problem. If it deviates a lot, it means that the water temperature is too high. It should be stopped immediately, and the trailer should be returned to the factory for maintenance.

The oil gauge and water temperature gauge of the car first see where the red line is. The red line is the alarm area of the oil gauge to remind you that it is time to refuel (the water temperature gauge is the red line alarm for excessive temperature). On the contrary, the other end of the red line is that the oil gauge is full, and the water temperature is the initial temperature.There is no pointer oil gauge and water temperature gauge. Only the electronic oil gauge is changed to the electronic one, which is more accurate than the previous mechanical pointer, but there is no electronic water temperature gauge, so you can't see how much the water temperature is, only the water temperature alarm light. If the water temperature is too high or there is a water temperature problem, the water temperature alarm light on the instrument panel will light up, and you need to stop immediately for inspection.
