[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1455398, member: 19880"] I like having more than an idiot light - that is telling you (too late) that something is seriously amiss. A little warning of gradually increasing coolant temperature helps when it comes to catching decreasing cooling system efficiency as a function of a bad thermostat, coolant loss, water pump issue or dirty radiator. On the other hand, there is no need of knowing that the exact current temperature is 147°F. The reasonably linear segmented bar graph on the Gen II (or even the lower resolution one on the Gen I) is more than sufficient to tell me if things are operating within "normal" healthy ranges. I don't hate the thought of a digital readout but the value displayed should be buffered at a frequency of no more often than a half minute. Digital readout fixes a problem that doesn't exist for day-to-day operation. Note: An instantaneous readout available in a diagnostic mode could be useful for troubleshooting a thermostat or fan issues. Quick feedback would tell you when the thermostat opens as a function of coolant temperature and when fans turn on or off vs temperature. [/QUOTE]
