Default What gauges for 1998 Z28 A4
no nitrous, no FI. gonna be H/C car. Being a 98 do i need a water temp or is the stock one actually accurate. Ive already got an trans temp gauge, i just need one more. Should i get oil temp or is it pointless?

On a 98, water temp gage reads actual temp.

not necessary. 98's are accurate.

that's weird man, i've always heard that 98's were accurate. that's why gm switched to a dummy gauge, people were complaining that it moved too much lol.

well is an aftermarket gauge going to be dead nuts accurate? if so then maybe it's something the OP might want to look at.
