I just finished cleaning all the inside glass of all my gauges (what a difference they look NEW) So I toke her out in the Miami weather tonight the outside temp was a nice hot 80 degrees. I drove my 914 for over an Hour an Half I drove her really hard and fast up 80MPH:driving: . The OEM temp gauge only read a 1/4 up and it never even got half way up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . Once I got home I opened the engine lid and the Dip stick Temp Gauge read 250 degrees. ( note i have checked the dip stick boiling point yesturday before i installed it.) If My 914 is running hot what what might be the causes and which gauge should i trust.

The car idled at 1 the whole night when i got home i turned her of and then on again after like 5 minutes and it started with some gas on the peddle. thanks JC |

Ferg: I presume the oil temp gauge you refer to is what is on my (your old) 914? What temp is "ok"; ie; do I check it running? Or as soon as I shut it off? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) The interior gauge is not working at all. Thanks, Jay

Never had a problem after. That guage was working before it left me? What is it doing, if it's pegging when turned on, you have a ground issue. Ferg |
