are those very colorful ones ? they glow in the nite like those i saw in those bengs' cars ?
me sua ku lah..didnt know that they are all gauges...thot some accessories to zhng the cars..btw, are they accurate
or juz good to have/good to look at ?

I mean the area right below the air-con knobs ( 90 degrees bend ) , but I wonder is it possible. These gauges are not for show.. the voltage one is wired to the battery terminals to measure it's voltage, and the water temp gauge, you need to install an additional item ( i forget that name leow) at the waterhose right out from the engine, thus measuring the temp. circulating the engine. They are lighted up with a tiny bulb within.

Yes, they look 'AH-BENG'  as what my daughter remarked, becos Latio sedan is uncle-look car, not-sporty looking and yet install these gauges ... heh very funny rite ? Who cares, as long as it serves it purpose.

i check before with my se, she say nissan cars seldom have over heat problem

My Latio overheated twice! 
Finally TC changed the fan assembly.  Hopefully that's the last time....

To be on the safe side ( prevention is better than cure ), i installed the voltage & temp gauges. 

Same, I also installed volt and water temp meter, what brand you installed ?

Serious? Your car so new also can overheat twice......scary sia....

[david1881]

Ya, so scary.  At the checkpoint la.  Can't possibly stop the car right?  Everyone behind me will curse, swear and horn non stop!   Bo bian, just switch off everything (actually only aircon & radio could be switched off)  and still continue.  The light goes off when the queue move slightly faster.

Yes, quite hot.  But whether hot or cool weather should not overheat unless got problem.

Has your volt meter been accurate so far?

What's the brand?

My friend fitted a volt meter to monitor his battery but one night after he parked for an hour to have dinner, it failed to start despite the volt meter showing a good battery strength when he parked his car an hour earlier.

Hi,

When starting my car (Latio/Sedan/Premium) every morning notice there is one blue engine oil light. The manual says it lights up when engine oil is cold. Usually I idle for a few minutes on 'Park'  for the blue light to go off before putting the car on 'Drive'. Is it necessary to wait?

i never wait for the blue lite to go off every morning... once engine start... i rev all the way liao to office... there is no need to wait...
