Surely that would only be live when you press the button to operate the srceen washers...
Windscreen washer motor maybe?
Ta.
Yeah, was kinda hoping it would be negative that operates that and it may be switch live. Will have a check..Surely that would only be live when you press the button to operate the srceen washers..
Nope. In their wisdom they equipped it with an oil temperature gauge in a bid to give it a 'racy' feel.Your BMW doesn’t have a temperature gauge?
Got a long-ish trip coming up, the cars old and the cooling systems on dinosaur Beemers isn't the greatest. Just want a bit of pre warning if it decides to toast itself, maybe save a head gasket. Just peace of mind really.Why do you even want to know the water temperature out of interest
Hmm, good thought.Does it have a obd2 port?
Or you could skip that faf and run a live "gauge" on your phone from the obd
Ok, that's actually something I will definitely look at. Didn't even think of that, great call.
Thanks guys, knew I could get some proper help in here.

Can get things like this if you have an obd port
Wow, that's pretty comprehensive! I use the phone for sat nav and speed camera alerts though, will give that a good look though. Like the way the guy seems to know his stuff and is always developing the app. Cheers.You could run the Torque app from Obd2 via Bluetooth, the Obd2 adapter is about £5 and the Torque app is about £4.

Yeah, it does split. Good idea, cheers.If your phone does multi screen you can split it 2 thirds nav and 1 third torque with 2 dials displaying.
Or just pair it with q tablet
