Hello all for age my water temp gauge has been dodgy. Sometimes it will read 70 then shoot up to 80. I got a new sensor from Birk today to see if it was that. Ran the car until it was nice and how both fans on etc. The gauge never goes over 85 degrees. Could the gauge itself be in some way stuck and can't go any higher????

Yeah, it could be. The gauge is driven directly from the blue sensor so if you've changed that and it's doing the same then it'll be something to do with the gauge or a wiring fault.

Ok cool is there any way that I could try and get the gauge to read max by joining some connections on the blue sensor plug??
