[Biturbos4] Intermittent Oil temp gauge

[Richard Ness]

My *%$# oil temp gauge quit working.
Or, should I say >90% of the time.
 
Tested the cluster with VAG-COM - gauge itself is OK.
Turning the key on, the needle comes off of the peg a little.
 
Any of y'all seen an intermittent oil temp gauge? Was it the
cluster or the sender? Is the sender inside the pan on the 2.7?
I'd rather be replacing a sender, but.....
I have the dreaded lines in the DID...
 
Thanks for any hints, etc...
 
BTW, Claire jacked the price on the cluster a couple of hun...
Sure wished I'd bought it back then!!
