  Subject: Tech: Fluctuating Oil Temp Gauge - 87 16v


  The weirdest thing is happening when I apply my brakes my temperature shoots up 10 cel. And when idling it bounces up and down (remember this is a temp not a pressure gauge). I saw my car reach 140 c last night on the way home never seen that before, the water temp sat between the top of the light and the 3/4 mark. So it is staying cool. 

  What could be causing this?

  Grounds - all clean and tight

  Sender - going bad



  And on top of this the ds power window switch broke (anybody got a spare or two).



  TIA 

  Brian
