i have enjoyed learning about my 914 in the last six months or so. but, i have a question, and the haynes manual was no help.
so my temp gauge on the console works... sorta. even after the engine gets good 'n hot, the temp needle barely gets above the first tick, and it never sees the middle of the gauge's range. is this a problem with a sender of some kind, or a bad gauge? i'm thinking oil temp sender, but what do i know? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) if i'm on the right track, how do i replace/repair it? thanks, can't tell you how much i've learned since joining this site, it's truly amazing. and if someone could give tips on making my odometer/trip meter work again, that would be cool also.

This is a good excuse to replace all your console gauges with NEW VDO gauges. I did last yr. what a difference there is in being able to have a temp. gauge that you can read numbers. I my case it turned out I was running a lot cooler than I thought. I got everything I needed from The Bird. I also replaced the clock with a oil pressure gauge .
