Are You An Engine Guard Customer?
Leave a ReviewPaid for itself 100 times over on the first trip!
Hi Guys,
Put the engine guard on and it paid for itself 100 times over on the first trip. Didn’t know I had a blockage in the radiator of the bus untill the alarm started screaming. No damage to the motor thankfully, radiator being repaired, all good.
Thanks again for a great but simple piece of technology.
Cheers

Saved us thousands
We have a small fleet of refrigerated trucks, all with high kilometers, so I installed an Engine Guard on each motor for some piece of mine. On three occasions now, the Engine Guard has alerted us to issues that would’ve resulted in complete engine failure.
One particularly attentive driver noted the temperature was around 5 degrees hotter than usual, which lead to us finding the EGR cooler was leaking and the coolant level was low.
One 2TR powered Hilux lost its serpentine belt, the driver who isn’t mechanically minded noted the loss of power steering but thought to keep driving, but within 30 SECONDS the engine guard alarm was sounding, and the engine was saved
On another occasion, the Engine Guard alerted my driver that the DMAX they were driving was running a bit hot. A quick investigation and a $60 hose later, the engine was saved and it is still running strong with over 450,000kms on the clock

Mini Cooper S engine saved
I recently purchased Engine Guard unit for 2 vehicles. First install was to my 2008 Mini Cooper S. They have aluminium block as well as aluminium head, and are designed to run hot.
I also fitted new silicon coolant hoses. I used 2 sensors, one fitted to the head/inlet manifold at the water pump end. The other was attached to the opposite end of the head at the thermostat housing and radiator hose end.
I drove the car intentionally hard to force maximum temperature. Just as I was changing down gears for my driveway, the Engine Guard alarm went off showing a warning for both sensors. Luckily I was 50 metres from my driveway.
One off the new stainless hose clamps had failed and the lower radiator hose had blown off.
I was extremely impressed with the warning and on checking under the bonnet noted the alarm was so quick to alert me that the radiator hadn’t even had a chance to empty fully. I had set the alarms at 5 degrees above max running temp. Also worth noting the head temp varies up to 12 degrees at each end. Worth fitting dual sensors in my view.
I am a mechanic with nearly 50 years experience. I’m very impressed

Great Product!
Hey guys! Just wanted to say thank you for creating such a great product. On Tuesday your engine guard saved my engine when I lost all my coolant. Absolute top product and I won’t have another car without one!!
Great product
Ordered 2 units, one for the tractor and one on the truck, such a relief not to have to worry about overheating engine damage.
Easy installation and setup and fast delivery, couldn’t be happier.
Cheers,

I have had Engine guard on my 2009 Colorado for a few weeks and very happy with it and it does what it says it does. I had two queries and within minutes of sending an email I got a call from Phil who was patient and explained how to fix it in simple black and white English. No technical BS. Thanks Phil and a good Aussie product with Engine Guard.

With the recent loss of water thru a old heater hose I was starting to get worried that I would cook my motor. I now have peace of mind knowing that ENGINE GUARD is going to alert me when the motor gets hot. Easy to install. Thanks to the team at Engine Guard.

I drive a 25 year
I drive a 25 year old Rodeo Ute. A couple of years ago it had some overheating issues ….. old radiator chocking up with crap ….. bla, bla, bla. Thankfully I was watching the temperature gauge, the day it happened, and avoided a disaster, and we fixed the problem. 2 ish years down the track I installed an Engine Guard, because I was travelling from Innisfail to Brisbane …. 1600 ish kms away, and I didn’t want to be continually checking the temperature gauge on the way. Peace of mind was bloody awesome.
Best bit of after market money I have ever spent on the car.
