intermittent temp gauge

[Andrew Duane]

It's almost the MFTS. been through about 4 of them on my various
Audis. Why they still use that same crappy design eludes me.
They've been failing regularly since the mid 80's.

Luckily, it's a cheap part (maybe $50-ish), and takes less than
5 minutes to put in. Sometimes it is just the connection to the
sender, but even then it's usually gone beyond cleaning, so just
replace it anyway and get new connections.

Hairy green toads from Mars made Alan Lubow say:
