I have been observing a difference in two coolant temp monitoring systems.
Link is always running 4 to 8 degrees warmer then my defi A-piller gauge.
The defi was professionally installed by englishracing, the temp prob was nicely installed in the upper metal elbow that the upper radiator hose connects to.
Link was also installed by englishracing. Also, the ecu temp sensor is rather new. So I do not think it is an issue of being incorrectly installed.
The defi gage reads 193 to 196, while link reads 200 to 203.
I am running a 170* thermostat, 30/70 coolant to water mix, one slim fan and one stock fan. Any ideas one what gage is most accurate?
Pics are of burping the coolant system, that car had been idling for about 45 mins at that point. Defi was 191, link was 196. Cruz temps are off about the same. Defi 196, link 203.
