Hi there,



So, I have been thinking, is there a way to set up an "auxillary" temp gauge that does not go through that "finicky" computer/voltage compensator board?



Is there another port on the block or in the radiator for a temperature sender? Oil temp sender?



I know VDO makes generic gauges, but I would like to have the "peace of mind" that I have a backup gauge that physically is reading the temp reading either at the block or at the radiator. I'd really hate to overheat an engine because the gauge is saying everything is hunky dory, when in fact, I am overheating....



Ideally, I'd like to have two aux gauges, one for REAL oil pressure, and one for REAL temp, I think it can be done, just need someone with more volvo knowledge than myself who may have already done this....



thanks



Kevin
