I have a Gene Berg dipstick temp gauge. At £18 and no gauge to clutter my dash i'm happy with it. Ish. Have you ever used one of these to check you oil? its not good. Gold anodised with fresh oil and the wire gets caught on the alternator... it's a mess.

I'm thinking of running a T3 dipstick convertor in my AS41  and modding it to poke out near my main dipstick tube. Thus runnign a stock dipstick and the GB temp in the T3 tube.

Should work you think?

Yeah, Berg didnt think it through with that idea. In the Slingle Cab the GB227 is mounted in the old Treuhaft sump- older sumps have a built in threaded boss.
On a side note, I believe the oil temp sending unit should be mounted in the sump- oil is at its hottest temperature there, and the the hottest temp is what you want to know.

I just keep my regular dipstick in the glove compartment for when I want to check oil.

This Gene's personal recommendation when you use the Gene Berg dipstick.

Yes it is.  I thought it would make it easier to keep the thing lubricated.  Just attach the grease gun and pump once and it's done.
