harrismag Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Sorry if this has been asked before. And sorry it's also related to blandit, but not really as it's about the motor. I got my blandit due to it had a mr turbo kit now that is a bit old school? Keep seeing oil temp gauges for sell, is there really a problem? Quote
boilerdude Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 I think "do I need one? do they really get that hot that I need to wire up a guage and monitor it?" was the question. Quote
vizman Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 there's plenty of shyte out there to buy.....adjustable side stands, gear indicators, matching socks etc etc etc..... Quote
Gixer1460 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Yeah - Vizman buys it all - official OSS Sh1te tester LOL! An overly hot engine is natures way of telling you that, 'YOUR RIDING TOO SLOW!' In all honesty an oil pressure gauge would be far more use and give more useful info..............if you have time to clock a gauge! Quote

vizman Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 is the 'digital temp meter' label incase you forget what it's telling you? Quote
banoffee Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 I worked in Halfords when I was a teenager, we'd get people in asking to buy temp gauges for their VW beetles. Quote

And the moral is - you was a spotty 'no nufink' yoof who didn't know that cylinder head temp gauges and oil temp gauges were and are available for aircooled VW's Quote
banoffee Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 You may have a point there, I worked in the cycle workshop and knew fuck all about cars . Quote

johnr Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 although in defence of the original poster, had he come here and asked if it was a good idea to fit an oil temp gauge to a stock blandit then it would be right and propper to all have a good old titter at his folly, however, if i read his post correctly, he says he has a blandit with a mr turbo kit on it, in that case i think id want some indication on how the oil is doing, although id probably want a pressure gauge rather than a temp gauge. it depends on how well set up the turbo was when it was fitted, and what boost he is running. 2 Quote
vizman Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 ....on the subject of turbo charging john, can I have my book back please? Quote
vizman Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 ....and I've never had an oil temp gauge on any vehicle, gaysperated, supercharged, turbocharged and gassed..... Quote

harrismag Posted May 15, 2016 Author Posted May 15, 2016 Cheers guys I did have a laugh reading the replies. Yes when I was a spotty youth I would of probably bought all the Halford tat. But I did think that suzuki got the motors sorted by the time blandit inherited it. Thanks to all cheers Quote
