Euro Carrera 3.0 oil temp read C or F ?

[UH1Charlie]

I have a '77' 3.0 Carrera and a simple question to ask, do the stock gauges read in C or F ? They don't indicate which but I suspect if 100C=212F and my reads say 200; I would hear a large bang if it read in C.
Thanks!

200C is 392F

The gauges that hide the numbers under the bezel are in C, while US delivery ones that show #s are typically F.

Most thermostats open around 180-200F and then settle down to 190F....

UH1,

Mine is in Centigrade range is zero to 170C. F gage goes to 300 I think.

My '76 reads in &degC, there were several different versions of the "combi" gage, but I would be very surprised if any of the oems read in &degF

Thanks to all that for the clarifications. My car is in the shop now so I don't have my temperature gage handy. Can anyone enlighten me as to the stock oil cooler set up on an early 76-77 Euro Carrera 3.0?

Doan when they started in the euro versions but my 83 had the brass row cooler.

For ROW 911,
trombone was used till '79
brass tube till '83
radiator till '89

As usual w/ Porsche there are always a few overlaps, they switch when they run out of old parts or when a part is not available for whatever reason, waste not want not.
