[s-cars] Oil Temp Gauge Fail

[Tony Curran]

Thanks Steve,

 

This sounds quite plausible as I had the IC out a couple of weeks ago to
replace the ignition switch and may have disturbed something.

 

Thanks

 

Tony

It's probably not the sender or the gauge.

 

There's a known problem on S6's that the pin in the aux cluster that carries
the signal to the gauge isn't soldered properly and that connection fails.
I've had to fix it on every S6 I've owned.

 

You'll need to pull the instrument cluster, remove the aux cluster, and
disassemble it to get access to the circuit board, but it's a free fix from
a parts standpoint.

Hi All,



Today the oil temp gauge stopped indicating temperature. All other gauges
are just fine. I'm assuming that itss most likely the sender 035 919 521 B
that's located on the oil pump - found here.

Are there any other likely sources for this failure before I order part from
local dealer?



Thanks.



Tony

96 S6
