Re: temp guage not working

Its under the thermostat. Unscrew it (might have to drain the radiator a bit)

Put it in some hot water and see what your gauge does

Re: temp guage not working

I'd say it's just the gauge.

Mine does weird things sometimes, swings all the way over to overheating when the car is still cold and then eventually moves back to normal.

Their not the most reliable gauges that's for sure

Re: temp guage not working

If it takes a fair while to get to normal temp, but does get there, I'd say it would be the thermostat not closing.

If it's not coming up at all I'd say its a fault with the gauge somewhere
