I recently installed a Oil temp gauge on my bug and it has a incorrect reading. It doesn´t start heating slowly, after about ten minutes the engine working, the manometer jumps from 0 to maximum, even passes the 150 celsius mark!

I went to the electrician and all connections seem right so I suppose it is or a sensor or a manometer malfunction.

Does someone have any experience on this?

Thanx

Ed
