[A4] Temp Gauge

[Richard Hurt]

I haven't noticed so much with my H2O temp but my Oil Temp is a little bit
wonky.  If it's extremely hot outside, my gauge wont read at all.  However
by the time the engine is good and hot (I'm nearing home after work) it
starts reading properly.  It never reads hot but sometimes it just doesn't
read at all.  I've replaced it the sensor once and that seemed to help for a
while - I think.  Anyone else had this "problem"?

Later...
