Re: Narcoleptic coolant temp gauge

     Before springing the 50 bucks for the new sender, as Andrew said check 
     the contacts. I have the same problem and installing a used sensor 
     fixed the problem for two days then the guage became lazy again. In my 
     case I'm almost certain it's a contact issue.
     
     Similarly I filled the windscreen washer reservoir and the next thing 
     I know the wash jets have stopped working. I must have just brushed 
     the connector at the pump to lose what ever marginal contact was being 
     made. High on my list of priorities is cleaning up as may of the 
     connectors as possible.
     
     Fairly basic stuff I know, but it is well worth thinking about before 
     buying replacement parts.
