Great work. Nice having the shift light isn't it

What did you do to the temp gauge though?

What did you do to the temp gauge though?

Format: preset temp-gauge

This preset re-calibrates the temperature gauge to show closer to coolant temperature, rather than staying on 3/8 between 185-230*F. Formerly, it also changed the high temperature alert to 230*F, which now has been moved to a different preset.
The gauge markings will be as follows:
•C = 140
•1/4 = 167
•3/8 low = 176
•3/8 high = 180
•1/2 = 200
•5/8 = 210
•3/4 = 221
•7/8 = 224
•H = 244

I've done this too (LS2 VXR) and it works a treat

Have you verified the temp gauge behaves differently? I thought I had done mine but could not see a difference. I will have to have another look now though

Not been out in car yet... im due a run out tonight. so ill verify the temp and the shiftlight

edit .... all works fine.. temp gauge is just under half. was between 1/4 and 1/2 before.

Seems like lots of people are getting this done now - does anyone have the cable and knowledge near to Farnham / Farnborough??

[VinceM]

Tried just now with my cable and it didn't work, wouldn't do anything on the software and it didn't recognize the port. Have given up before I mess it up!

Been meaning to get this done for a while, I'm in Wokingham so not far away. If you do manage to find someone local, would be keen to join.

[maccavvy]

I'd be happy for anyone in on near south Yorkshire or willing to travel to have a go for them

[SturdyHSV]

I'll be at the V8UK event at Topcats on the 12th with cable / tablet etc.

[KMud]

I can confirm my cable works as I've just altered the startup logo on mine (to Holden, no CV8 allusions to HSV ). Will check the temp gauge out later if the roads dry out a bit (I re-applied the preset). Cable in the Bristol area if anyone else wants a go.

[VinceM]

Not sure what the issue is with mine, maybe the soldering isn't that great....

[KMud]

Did any 04s get the ECT gauge to work properly? I still don't think mine took. I think everything else I fiddled with works.

Is there anyone in the south east/Kent area able to do this?

I tried to make a cable but it didn't work, however I'll give it another go if the cable can be bought ready made? Anyone know if it can?

I'm back and forwards to the Medway towns, should be down in the next few weeks.

PM me and we can get something sorted
