Help!!

Temp gauge sits as far over as it can to the right all the time!! one day it just went over! doesnt get hot etc, mfa all works, water level is constant, could it be faultty gauge? would it be worth taking the dash pod out?

Also the bloody deat will not tilt is this the same prob as mk2? easy fix?

sorry been out of the game for while , just bought this car for the mrs!

thanks in advance
 :wink:

Does the heater give out good heat?  Ifso then id say faulty sendr or gauge mate.

Am i to take it that even with the ignition off the gauge reads all the way to the right  ? If so then its the gauge . If not then check the sender .
