Re: 1990 QC20V TEMP GAUGE

[Porsray@aol.com]

I had a similar experience to this on my Coupe Quattro; occassionally the 
gauge would read 0, then come back.  Seemed to first hiccup when turning. 
 I suspected a bad connection; traced wires from engine to a multi-point 
connection called an "electronic thermoswitch ( upside down connector at 
water connection at front of cylinder head).  Disconnecting this switch and
cleaning the contacts cured the problem.

 because I'm sure this has been 
 discussed before, but I am in a hurry so I will just ask.  Has anyone 
 experienced a faulty engine Temp gauge in the 90QC20v, I know my dads 89 
 90q has a similar problem that he has not figured out.  Most of the time 
 it reads 0 but every once in a while it will move just a little bit, I 
 know she is running hotter than that, but how hot that is the question?
 		any suggestions, thanks, Dax

 Replace the dead sender.  That's what the problem is 99% of the time.
