There you are: rolling down the highway, enjoying the scenery, and blissfully ignoring your temperature gauge. You glance down and realize that the needle is pegged, and the red light is flashing ominously. The rear view mirror offers only the sad view of smoke billowing from your rear end, and you have just enough time to think, "I wonder how long the light has been blinking," when the engine seizes. Road trip = sidelined.
The new GoWesty Audible Coolant Temperature Alarm Kit is here to ease your mind. The alarm is programmed to sound at the exact moment your red light is tripped, which can literally save your engine.
Install is simple: This kit installs onto the back of the cluster with no modifications necessary. Installation instructions included.
This kit is inexpensive insurance to help protect your beloved Westy!
Note: This alarm sounds due to overheating or low coolant levels it will NOT sound when you fire up your van and the red light blinks for a moment. Your stock warning system MUST be functioning properly. This kit DOES NOT add an extra warning system it reinforces the function of your current system!
Fits all water-cooled Vanagons, including diesel.
Kit is compatible with all cluster types, including clusters with the GoWesty Printed Circuit Board Replacement Kit installed.

This is an inexpensive add-on that could save your engine. It's easy to install, especially if you're installing the ribbon cable replacement kit. Highly recommended.
This was easy install and great quality.
This coolant alarm kit is an easy install and is simple to test whenever you change your Vanagon's coolant. I bought a second unit as a surprise gift for one of my Vanagon-loving friends.
Simple to install, nice quality. Good piece of mind
my double cab has a eurovan steering wheel, this makes it very hard to see my temp gauge. this alarm will help me if it should overheat. Very easy to install. thanks
Had a slow/medium leak on the highway and, this little guy did not disappoint. Pulled over on the side of the road with plenty of time to spare.
Super product that gives the driver more confidence to mitigate catastrophic engine failure. Easy install.
This is a inexpensive safe guard agent over heating a wrecking your engine. Easily installed.
No more looking down to be surprised that I’m overheating.
Nice to know
really smart failsafe for the money. Having had an overheating issue in the past I really wish I had added this alarm two years ago. Easy install.
Super easy to fit ,& keeps me sane when cruising the long miles 👍
Offcouse we have alarm emergency temp lamp, however dn not notice it cause forcus to driving,,,
So we can know easily if have alarm sound also!
No more watching the gauges, enjoy your road trip knowing the coolant gods are watching!!!
easy install during instrument cluster wiring circuit board upgrade. Tested operation during coolant fill and bleed, gave loud notification. Now more confident that engine will not overheat unknowingly.
Pull over when you hear this
My last vanagon overheated on me. Never again…
I, like most of us, have a paranoia about the coolant temp as I am driving, this upgrade gives me a bit more sense of contentment, no longer staring at the damn idiot light, like an idiot.
Easy to install while you are replacing the blue foil. I can't review it's function, as I hope I never have to hear it work LOL! Great build quality either way.
Certainly a nessary upgrade if you are already doing the foil replacement. This alarm saved my motor when I had a bad tank cap. It's did its job and we stopped before critical failure!
