Scanguage 2 and larger tyres

Hi Tez,
You can adjust the 'speedo' setting in the Scangauge so that it is accurate - I adjusted to GPS readout. This should correct the Scangauge's fuel consumption reading.

Note that the instantaneous fuel use (L/HKm) does vary a lot, but you can 'average' that out mentally to be near enough for comparison to other driving style.
By that I mean, don't expect an accurate L/HKm reading... If you accelerate harder you will get a higher 'average', and you should be able to work out which gear and which revs give the most economical 'average' reading. A headwind when towing will show an obvious increase in the reading, so adjust the driving to suit.

All that being said, could I suggest another aspect to remember... Certainly drive to maintain best economy, but be aware of other road users. It may be necessary to sacrifice some economy for a short period so that you do not hold up other traffic when they cannot pass you.

I find the Scangauge is great. I'm not sure what the current price is from Oz outlets, but I and many I know bought direct from the states.

Cheers,

I don't use the fuel usage part of my scangauge, but the most useful part for me is the temp readout..good to know if the temp is climbing up while towing even when the factory gauge hasn't moved..

I found on my previous Terracan that the car would sit on 90 and while towing hard up steep hills it would go up to 100 and even as far as 105, but the standard gauge wouldn't budge ( but from other reports, it would be approx 115 to 120 before it moved towards the red )..

Gives a fairly good idea how hard the thing is working !!

Hi Tez

As others have said yes scan gauge can do speed adjustment.

I use mine for water temp when towing as well, 06/2010 3.0 lr d4d Hilux auto and trans warning light comes on if water temp reaches 91c and stays there for 4 or 5 minutes. Have just ordered a trans cooler as Mr Toyota dealer said there was no need and Toyota did not have cooler package for said vehicle.

Tandem van 2100kgs
In my Prado d4d water temp sits on 86-87c when towing.

Use volt gauge as well and it only shows 13.5 to 13.9 volts when towing with lights on at night, and up to 14.0 volts during day. Installing a redarc dc-dc 20amp charger as soon as I have time, to keep second battery and caravan batteries fully charged.

Trying to find scan gauge setting to read auto trans temp as I travel as well.

Use fuel settings as well for driving but don't rely to much on them, as to variable.
