are you not using the standard one on the dash? or are you after something as a secondary one, eg more precise?________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Use the one fitted in the car lol.If you just want a separate gauge I'm sure I've seen some you can just run to the standard temp sender otherwise as rikky said on Ebay etc there are loads of gauges and they come with everything you need to make it work. ________________________________________ Ryan |

It is accurate as these gauges are quite rare these days in that they are "live" gauges.  There must be an issue with your vehicle if you're finding it inaccurate. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

What Stan said mate, I've had loads of 306's and I've never had one that doesn't appear to be accurate. In what way do you think yours isn't? ________________________________________ Ryan |

what sender have you used? needs to be the 306 one to match the clocks, xsi is different iirc to a gti6, and different again to the v6. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

If it's the 406 one then it probably won't be accurate. It needs to be correct sender for the car as Mei says. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

If after using the 306 one you still have issues I would look at the plumbing, might be its not right and you getting hotspots. I had this issue...________________________________________ Nothing to see here |
