To those who are interested in a Digital Temp Gauge I can thourghly recommend the people from Engine Watchdog.
They made restitution for a situation they had no responsibility or liability, where another web based vendor failed to supply their product that I had purchased.
The full story
After reading recommendation's on this site re the TM2 engine Watchdog, and a web based Marine supplier I purchased the TM2 through this website using paypal, on 19 December, and was informed they were in stock and Express Post would take only 1-2 days, as the marine vendor was
Brisbane based.
Nothing B4 Xmas, Oh
well caught up in the Xmas Rush, Nothing by New Years,
8th Jan left phone messages and email "What Gives", No Reply
Get on internet and find that Marine vendor is not manufacturer, but Items are made in
Brisbane by Engine Watchdog, see link below.
Call engine watchdog, and explain situation, is there a supply problem -No.
Has Vendor Died or ill (fine last time they saw)
Said please advise if I don't receive as they don't want their customers disappoint
14th Jan Week later More emails and calls to vendor, No Reply
Raise dispute with PayPal, and an Immediate response through paypal, states sent by Aus post B4 Xmas, sorry was away, will investigate with Aus Post.
Away OS on Business from 15th to 22nd, Vendor asks if received, I say don't Know as Not
Home , back on the 22nd
Arrive back on 22nd nothing received, email Vendor, requesting express post parcel # of original shipment, advises replacement sent that day
28th Advise nothing received after 6 days, please confirm express post #
No Answer.
Fed up, drop into Engine Watchdog, very helpful, no further questions asked, provide Product Free of charge including an extra temp sensor that I had discussed on my 1st call.
Now That's Customer service.
At last I can fit it this weekend (5 weeks late) and start monitoring what works to bring engine temps down on my Turbo 1HZ
Will monitor Water @ Thermostat and rear Head temps after each change
Viscous coupling re oil
Hose Change
Lower water Glycol content, use wetter water
Finally insert PWR Radiator
So For Engine Watchdogs go direct to the Local Australian Manufacturer, they pride their work amd reputation, and back it.
For you bushies with stationary motors etc They also do other engine monitoring, shut-down and start-up systems
