Good data, bad interpretation...
Funny aside...
Stuck in v.slow traffic in a tuned VX220 on a hot summer day.
Noticed rising coolant temperature on the Stack gauges. They're pretty direct sensor to dash!
It slowly keeps rising, fan comes on and stays on but temperature keeps going up and I'm still a mile off the M-way junction that'd allow movement and air to cool things down.
Mild panic, not wanting a head gasket to go, so I pull over and switch off and allow things to cool.
Only when I tentatively switch back on 10 minutes later do I realise that I was reading the odometer and not the temperature gauge. Duh!!!!
Good data. Bad interpretation. :-)
(Google the dash image and you'll see it's an easy mistake to make!)
Biting the hand that feeds IT
