I've been trying to figure out what model this gauge was originally. So far in searching I've seen some close that are out of a 914-6, but have also seen similar marked as 911. Any ideas? I haven't had a chance to pull the gauge to look for a part number yet. I think the sensor for the oil temp is mismatched since it's reading cool.

I am unable to assist with the gauge, but you may consider checking the low temp reading with a known source, IR or similar

Good idea should be close enough as reading is from the sump anyway pay to check the "G" wire on the gauge to sender ,most likely you have a duff sender or wrong rating for the same ,cheers |
