Viva - add temperature indication

[samsam]

hello… Viva members

I just colleted my new Viva 1.000cc manual and found that the temperature indication at metering panel is by warning light “H” (high) & “C” (low) and no percentage such as (min to max temp).

It is very risky when reached to “H”, especially radiator clog & etc.
With percentage (min to max temp) is able to monitor the temperature.

Can it be done to add a gauge kit (percentage\ min to max temp) to the existing temperature warning.
Or
a gauge kit to a new temperature sensor (whereby require open a hole at the radiator)??


appreciate could you please explain in detail for the installation\connection and shop to be recommend.


cheers…

i think when u hit "H"...just slow down the car and check ur water tank and radiator...

for our P2 car..is ok...

i try before from Penang until KL the water temp go up because of the Fan spoil....still can drive but just make sure u got enough water in the tank and look at the meter all the time...

anyway this is OEM design and most of the car now a days no longer come with the analogue gauge for water temperature. some more u r not hardcore modify ur engine i dont think u need to spend extra money for unnecessary product. anyway, u might decide urself, this is my 2cents.
