So I just bought a 1999 A4 2.4 V6 Avant as a cheap runaround and love it but it has a very frustrating problem or two.
Temp gauge not working - Yes..... I have already spent time reading all the other threads on this and not found an answer.
Gauge is totally dead, not a flicker of life at any point no matter how hot or cold
All other gauges and functions work properly
I changed the Coolant Temp Sensor at the back near firewall (no change at all)
Tested the fuses - all good
Engine is definitely getting warm (although not HOT)
Oil temp gauge works but only sits at 60 -70 degrees.
I tested the 4 connections coming off the plug and all have continuity
The car runs ok for mileage 150,000 miles. ticks over and runs a little rough when hot but great when cold
Im all out of options.....? searched the forums cannot find any other fix. I am starting to think the new switch may also be faulty, do you think this is likely?
The switch I bought was from an auto spares shop not the main dealer and was half the price.
Any help very much appreciated.
