Do the US-spec temp gauges correspond to a US-spec temp sending unit, likewise a German gauge to a German sending unit? What happens if you use a German gauge with a US sending unit, are the readings accurate, high, or low?

Thanks

There is no "US-spec sending unit", nor a "US-spec gauge". The gauge was not numbered (except for the calibration marks waaaaay out on the edge where you can't really see them with the gauge module installed; those were in degrees C in all cases) so there wasn't a need to run different gauges for the places that used different units and measuring systems.
