Recently had some major engine work done on my 74 914 2.0. Car runs great except the temp gauge is acting funny. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it stops working completely, and, most recently, the needle was twitching slightly in time to the turn signal when it was blinking. Thanks for any help you can give me.
So sorry for my first post. I accidentally wrote fuel gauge in the body of the post instead of temp gauge (which is in the heading). My apologies for sending people on a wild goose chase. |

Major engine work should be unrelated to the fuel sender, unless they messed with fuel lines or took the tank out. Easy to pull the sender and give it an inspection and a clean. Make sure the float is moving freely. If it is very old, think about replacing it due to bad gas, corrosion etc. Not sure about the voltage surge from the turn signals.
Just noticed you have temp gauge in the title and fuel in the body. Not sure which one I answered for now. |
