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????

Although it's no longer available new, it's worth trying to get hold of a good example second-hand. As GTi's get tubbier and cooler, it's nice to remind yourself of why insurance companies hate hot-hatches so much.-Top Gear on the 6 Apr '01. Black 6

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??
