BOSCH SP0F000049 Style Line 2" Electrical Water/Oil Temperature Gauge (Black Dial Face, Black Bezel)

I installed this on an early 90's cummins that is installed in a 107 year old fishing boat. The installation was nice and easy, and it fit into the existing threaded port using one of the included adapters. The previous indicator was a cap-tube style sensor, and it had long since failed. Because of this, I needed to source a hot and a ground that was common with the engine block (harder than you might imagine on a 107 year old wooden fishing boat) but after that was handled, installation went just fine. You are only given 1 crimp connection in the kit, and it's for crimping onto the sensor wire at the engine side. You will need to provide your own ring crimps for the other connections. I can't say for sure that it is accurate, since I don't have a good way to verify, but even if it's a few degrees off, it's good enough for my needs. My only regret is that I got the black one... shoulda gone for something with a chrome bezel, but that's on me, not the manufacturer.

Works as it should, easy install

I put this in my 72 GMC and it is showing 180 F at warmed idle. So it's working fine, only 4 stars because the light does not work, not sure if it's the bulb or socket. hopefully I can tinker and make it work. The gauge is staying. To much of a pain to remove it and install another.

I have bought three of these now for use in my offshore fishing boat. They are good quality and hold up well in a corrosive environment.

worked as it should.

Using my Bosch SP0f000049 Temp Gage for a Transmission Temp Gage. Got it mounted today. Checked the Gage with my laser thermometer and was about 1-5 degrees off at various temperatures. Pretty much accurate. Used a GlowShift Universal Single Gauge Swivel Pod to mount it on the left top of my Wrangler dash. Gage fits well and easy wiring except for the light. Haven't found where to hook up to my dimmer wire. I used Anderson Metals Brass Pipe Fitting, Barstock Tee, 3/8" x 3/8" x 3/8" Female Pipe and 2 of Anderson Metals 57001 Brass Hose Fitting, Adapter, 3/8" Barb x 3/8" NPT Male Pipe. The Gage kit comes with several Brass adapters. I used the 3/8 adapter to screw the sensor into. Tapped into the 3/8 rubber hose on the trans output line. Unit MUST be grounded for the Gage to work. In the photo you can see the Blue electrical ground eye, 14-16 Gage under the sensor with a 3/8 washer to take up the slack for tightening. Grounded it to the frame. I Would do it again

Gauge is reading 150 immediately and hook up those to 280 within 30 seconds gauge is faulty Unfortunately return window was closed before I could install it

had it installed on my 22re for about 2-3 weeks now and it works ok. gotta give it a tap sometimes cause it sticks a bit. feels real cheap and flimsy. had to buy a separate hose adapter that accepted the 1/8 threads and none of the adapters works for a 22re stock port (M10 threads). other than that its off by 5-10 degrees cooler but it works. make sure u use the right gauge wires cause it can screw with the readings. EDIT October 4 Gauge now reads nothing at all times after the first 2 months. Still has perfect continuity with 0 ohms threw the whole circuit using 14 gauge wire. I've never had a more dificult time with this gauge and I've given up. Do not buy this gauge its one of those "designed to last the warrenty" items that is designed to fail

Using as a transmission temperature gauge, seems to be accurate, a D works well.

.

works great and accurate i put the green silicon cover on the bulb to make the light green wish they came with them but i had one so no worries

Looks good...had to cut a hole in my black dash, but the final look is exactly what I want. Small unobtrusive gauge that lights up well in the dark. Easy to read in daylight or dark.
