Please help - cannot get coolant gauge back in pocket gauges
I went around with this a day or two ago, but it got randomized by people just quoting the manual. I've read the manual, honest. I've read the pages people have posted. It doesn't solve it.
But I really want to solve it, and need some help.
A couple of days ago I was playing with editing the pocket gauges. I was trying to add the HP gauge, which took some time because the car has to be running, not just on. But I did that. I put oil temp on the left the HP on the right.
Now that the novelty of that has worn off, I'd like to get my coolant temp gauge back. It's NOT listed in the pocket gauges menu on either side. I have trans temp, oil temp, hp, a couple of others, but no coolant. This is in the Sport dash of course, where the pocket gauges are.
If no one knows how to get it back, is there a way to reset the whole damn thing back to defaults? In the Edit Gauges I've tried pressing and holding SEL which is supposed to reset things, but I haven't seen SEL reset anything yet.
I'm stymied, and not having a temp gauge is annoying (and there are dozens of workaround to find the temp, that's not what I want, I just want it back like it was factory).
Any help would be really appreciated.

Don't think there is a pocket gauge for engine temp. In Sport Mode I think your only option is to select performance and scroll down to display coolant (engine) temp in the center of the Sport display.

You're right. It's not a pocket option. Only way to full time see it is in tour screen.

The OP wants to display it in Sport Mode. Choose the performance option, scroll down to the third option and you can display a bar graph of coolant temperature in the center of the screen, inside the tachometer display. In Tour mode, you see the actual temperature, in Sport you see a bar graph with a needle.
To the OP: there never was an engine coolant pocket gauge. There is an oil temp gauge and a transmission temp gauge, which is often mistaken for engine temp.

Exactly.

Would it be possible to use a z51 cluster to get a permanent coolant gauge? boost pressure has no relevant reason for being displayed other than to show that it's supercharged.

This may have changed over the years but in my '17 in Sport mode, my left pocket gage (the default option) shows coolant temp.
Made a point to look at it today when running around and confirmed coolant temp is shown and made a point to check options that I could change it from coolant to oil temp as desired.

Just messing with you.
