A handy trick to monitor the water temperature and speedometer on the Opel Astra H: turn on the radio and press the "setting" button until you hear a "beep". Then, press the "bc" button until a series of values appears: "OT" with a numerical value next to it indicates the water temperature.

Next to it, you will see a "v": this is the speed measured digitally. "Sens" shows the outside temperature, measured by the more accurate sensor compared to the one that displays the temperature in the top right.
