Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
I guess it is possible that it could be a bad connection in one of the instrument cluster connectors, so it might be worth checking those first.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am after a bit of advice please. The temp gauge on my '98 C2 started playing up a few weeks ago - jumping around a bit on start up and then sticking either all the way round into the fuel gauge or somewhere towards the lower range. The car wasn't running hot. The temperature sensor has just been replaced and...........still the same problem! Is is possible to get the gauge repaired? If so where and how much? Thanks

POST 2Original post

I guess it is possible that it could be a bad connection in one of the instrument cluster connectors, so it might be worth checking those first. The gauge itself can be tested using a Porsche Tester, so that would be the next step. I don't know anyone who repairs the cluster, but I think you would find it best to find a used one. New ones are an arm and a leg. Just make sure you get one from exactly the same model, as there are several different variations.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Richard, will give that a try.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
