Who the fuck at Mercedes was retarded enough to sign off on this? Operating temperature is almost 3/4 up the gauge, not in the center or slightly below center like the entire rest of the car industry. Unironically undrivable.
sometimes i forget the autism meme isn’t actually a meme for this website
>needle not pointing straight up when in its normal positionabsolutely disgusting
>>28647541>just make it look like it's overheating bro
>>28647480Its actually right in the middle if you look at the scale in total.
>>28647620Then the H should be at the end of the scale, not before it with the needle sitting closer to the H and not centered between the C and H
>>28647620This>>28647631Retard that doesnt understand the purpose of a gauge.
Same as if the RPM needle is at 4k rpm when operating in the middle of the total range of 0 - 8k rpm. It would have the exact same angle as the temp needle. Think a little
>>28647632>t. dipshit who has never driven a car with a correctly made coolant temperature gauge
>>28647653>miata temp gauge>accurate
>>28647658Who said anything about accuracy?
>>28647662the needle literally doesn't move until your engine has already exploded, the miats temp gauge is literally the most useless in existence
>>28647480the needle resembles a boner showing it is ready to go
Op you are genuinely the dumbest cunt on this board.
>>28647687Gay
>>28647631>I want my gauge to be horrible and meaningless >it should statt to overheat when it's at 3/4 of the way to the redThe gauge you're complaining about is unironically a much better scale than the trash you prefer.
>>28647672Mine has moved just a little past center and confirmed to match just above 207° where the fans come on with OBDII data, skill issue. >>28647720>horrible and meaninglessCool strawman bro, not what I said. I want operating temperature to be centered between C and H, and C and H to be on either end of the scale. Not the H just randomly placed somewhere between operating temperature and the end of the scale. You seem to have this confused with talking about the gauge mechanicals where it's merely the print of the gauge face I'm pissing and moaning about. >>28647698cry more mercedesfag
>>28647738>thermostat has left the chat>engine goes to 300 degrees before the needle even reactsnah son
>>28647755Not my experience
>>28647480this is like an A-class right?what did u expect?
>>28647813yeah I shouldn't have expected better from a manufacturer too retarded to figure out lug studs either
>>28647757drive harder then pussy
>>28647839I drive it plenty hard, I simply take better care of it so it never has even a marginal cooling system to begin with
>>28647480It is in the middle you dipshit
>>28647738>Not the H just randomly placed somewhere between operating temperature and the end of the scale.It's placed so that when you hit H you know you need to pull over, instead of arbitrarily at the end of the scale long after you already melted your fucking engine
>>28647877>closer to the H than the Cdisgusting >>28647884Or, if operating temperature was just clearly in the center, if you weren't retarded you could just see the gauge anywhere "past center" and pull over.
>>28647653Lol.So you think as long as its not on the bar at the H its safe?Tell me....What does basically every tach look like (?)Now ask yourself why it looks like that.Then think about your temp gaige and OPs temp gauge.Then formulate a response and post it.
>>28648039Why are you putting words in my mouth?see>>28647889
>>28647867>I simply take better care of itthermostats are an unsealed and melting ball of wax pushing a piston down a tubethey are practically a wear item
>>28647653if your gauge just has C and H with no actual units of measurement then it is made for women and should not be used as an example of a correctly made gauge. your entire premise is wrong and you should be embarrassed for having made this thread and spent this much time and effort arguing your position.
>>28648042Yes, so they should be replaced as preventative maintenance. I do it with each timing belt at the recommended 60k interval.>>28648050>he hasn't cross referenced each point of the needle on the gauge with OBDII data and memorized ituseless limp wristed faggot detected
>>28648056>cross referenced each point of the needle on the gauge with OBDII datait's a dummy gauge you retard it's not even a linear scale
>>28648056says the woman driving a car with obd2
>>28648064iirc only the '89 (and '90?) miats had a real temp gauge and you can modify the one on later cars to work like anon thinks it does, but from factory it's literally an idiot light for the coolant temp sensor and not an actual thermometer.
>>28648067lmao
>>28648063>>28648067>dummy gaugeIt clearly isn't when I have watched it reading accurately past the center when it ran a little hotter when I had the undertray off in the summer. You're probably thinking of the oil pressure gauge that is a dummy on later NA6 and up.>>28648064We get it, you're a little piss boy afraid of computers and wiring any more complicated than "power" and "ground".
>>28648082>look at my computer and my color coded chart with numbers and data look how manly i amlol
>>28648098>he doesn't know what a VE table islol. lmao, even
>>28647672Up 'til '94 miatas had real temp guages. My '95 had the "dummy" on/off switch one but many people swap to real ones and it's cheap to do.My Subaru just has a blue light that is on when the water temp is below some threshold, I've got a ScanGuage II that tells me exact digits though (pic not mine).
>>28648041You failed to answer my questions.What does a standard tach look like?Why does it look that way?
>>28648082how does it feel that a mom dropping her kids off at soccer practice in her tesla model y could absolutely smoke your shitbox
>>28648153>0.0 mpggrim
>>28648336Not him.Im not gonna lie.EV is a game changer.But...I just drove 900 miles in 12 hours.
>>28647889>ust see the gauge anywhere "past center" and pull over.you don't drive hard in the slightest.
what actually bothers me is my wife's car fuel gaugeits far from being linearfull to half ~300 mileshalf to empty ~100 milesfucking lazy engineers didtn bother to correct it for the shape of the gas tank>>28648050anyway I prefer the womans gaugeoh no temp is 5 degrees higher than usuallywhat are you going to do anyway? Replace random parts that might be broken?
>>28648616it's mind boggling to me to read the second half of this post on a forum for car enthusiasts.
>>28648631Well I had a car with an actual temp gauge and it just gave me a headacheIts normal that the coolant temp is not always exactly the sameSo I dont care when it moves around a little
>>28648050This, I never understood why they don't use units most the time. Same for fuel
>>28647480why so spooked it would only be empty space otherwise
>>28647480>6k redline>still overheatingShits a rental
>>28647480>doesn't even have numbersAnd people pay good money for this.
>>28648050>>28647653>a correctly made coolant temperature gaugeGMT800 bros can't stop winning
>>28647480this is nowhere near as retarded as Ford Truck gauges>first gauge optimal location is center>second gauge optimal location is center>third gauge no optimal location, its the fuel gauge>fourth gauge optimal location is centergood luck with that ass clenching everyime you look at your gauges and spot one being all the way over to one side or the other
I liked the 90s/00s Lexus cluster. Kinda like a watch.
>>28647889Operating temperature of 100C is closer to overheating (120C) than cold (25C) especially with the equal distance hash marks.
>>28648921That entire gauge cluster is a major failure point on chebbys.
>>28647541fpbp
>>28647541you need to go back to redit
>>28648921I don't think I've ever seen a transmission temp gauge before
>>28649375you'd have to be autistic to care about it, that's why
>>28648050I just use this to give me live feed data from my ecu https://www.scangauge.com/products/scangauge-ii/
>>28649383If you have a truck or suv that you use for towing you’ll want to monitor your transmission temps. If you also do a lot of off road activity you’ll likely want to monitor your transmission temps so it’s not getting too hot.
>>28649375you've never driven a half ton pickup then.
>>28648921>cluster ACKs
>>28649691Nope, never have.
>>28649240MIne still works, but I heard it's easy to repair it, since the only things that fail are the stepper motors and backlight bulbs. I did the bulbs in other panels and the hardest part was to order them from the US.
>>28649383>don't care about the temperature of the fluid>don't care about changing the fluid>repair cost is HOW MUCH?>>28649688Any transmission could benefit from such gauge, I mean, car trannies ACK themselves all the time. Most cars don't have anything besides "TRANS OVERHEAT" message, and that one is usually set too high.
>>28647480That is just below half way up the gauge?
