Tuga,

" But why would the VDO gauge read correctly @ 180 degrees and erronously at 210?" __________________

I can't explain why the gauge works and then reads wrong, but I've learned someone on the forum will. My water temperature gauge on my Country Coach & now my Newell are both VDO gauges and both have read higher than actual temperature on an intermittent basis. I was heading for Dallas in cool weather and the gauge went up to 230. I stopped, used the infrared gun on the radiator and it only read 195 degrees. I smacked the gauge with my finger and the needle immediately dropped to 195 degrees. The same thing would happen in my Country Coach occasionally. I just can't explain why.
