Bosch Temp Gauge

Ok these Bosch gauges are confusing. I thought it was reading 210 my wife said 205. If you look closely at the increments, they don't seem evenly apportioned. So what's this reading? What are the increments?

Re: Bosch Temp Gauge

The large hash marks correspond with the printed temp . My reading is 210

Re: Bosch Temp Gauge

Seems ideal if you're only concerned with detailed temps between 150 and 210.
I'd probably drive off the road trying to read that thing

Re: Bosch Temp Gauge

Just my interpretation.. Starting at 100, each mark is 15 degrees. The hash mark at 12:00 is 180.. The next "bold" mark is 210... The mark half-way between is 195..Then the 280 mark wipes all that out.. I'm with Rust_never_sleeps.. If you see me weaving on the road, I'm probably trying to determine my engine's temperature...
