Just got my bomber back from VW after having a lot of engine seal work done on it. The service rep and I and the mech discussed a problem with the readings on the temp gage. They put a new thermostat in it and the water temp is right at about 195F. The gage, on the other hand, reads just a hair above 230F at this point. They had also put in a new temp sender and tried a new gage, but the higher temp still registers.
The next thought is to lay in a separate lead from the sender to the gage and see if that changes anything. The instrument panel did have to have some solder points remade a month ago ( both the fuel and temp gages were intermittent), but the voltage regulator that is part of that circuit was not replaced - should it have been? Would that effect the temp gage?
Anyone run into something like this before?
