Coolant Temp Gauge

Description

A coolant temperature gauge, also known as an engine temperature gauge, is a device that measures the temperature of the engine coolant. It is typically located on the dashboard of a vehicle and has a needle that points to different temperature readings. The ideal engine temperature is somewhere between 195 and 220 degrees Fahrenheit. If the engine temperature gets too high, it can cause serious damage.

The coolant temperature gauge is an important tool for monitoring the health of your engine. It can help you identify potential problems before they cause serious damage. For example, if the gauge shows that the engine is overheating, it could be a sign of a problem with the cooling system, such as a leak in the radiator or a faulty thermostat.

If you notice that your coolant temperature gauge is reading higher than normal, it is important to pull over and let the engine cool down. You should also have the cooling system inspected by a qualified mechanic to identify and fix the problem.
