temp gauge

Post by saviogimmi »

Tried to get mine working today, checked all wiring seems ok, took out gauge all was ok. I then took the spade connectors that go on the two temp senders on the thermostat housing and connected them together and the gauge came to life. Does this mean the senders are dead, or could it be somthing else.

thanks for the quick replies I thought that it could only be the sensor, phoned vw they do not have any. Where is the best place to get some good ones from.
