[Mk2] [Turbo] Troublesome Oil Temperature Gauge and turbo timer

Post by TheCombover »

Recently my oil temp gauge has been acting up, it reads temp fine till it reaches about 115 degrees and then just starts act as if it was a boost a gauge?!? The needle bounces around between 115 and 150 degrees?!? I highly doubt the actual oil temp is doing that... Is there anything I can check before writing the gauge off?

My turbo timer sometimes decides to cut out right away instead of counting down but only happens very rarely. Generally it works for weeks. Dodgey ground perhaps?

Thanks
