    Default Temperature gauge

    One of the "flaws" of the XC60 is that is does not have a temperature gauge.

    Has anybody fitted one? I would like to know where you fitted the sensor / sender unit and where you mounted the gauge inside the car. Pictures?

    I installed a Scangauge that I bought from IPD on my gaugeless XC70
    It can display 4 parameters from the OBD port.

    Thanks netpres1 - I will pursue this option. FWIW, my 2002 XC70 (2nd generation) still had a temperature gauge. And my 2016 V40 also has a temperature gauge!!

    My 2001 V70 had a gauge (analogue of course) and my friends 2016 XC70 has one
    (of course as it is a fully electronic display)

    We just have the "middle" models where they thought it wasn't important.

    I have the analog gauge and it always seems to be about middle of the scale, without really any variation. I wondered if it functions properly. It didn't occur to me that there was something I could plug into he OBD II to monitor those parameters. I guess a ScanGauge is now on my list. LOL
