But that's just my judgement.
But to rule it out - do anyone know how to "prove" that either the temperature sensor or temperature gauge is faulty?

Ps: I've tried to create a seperat thread to get the resistance values for the temperature sensor.
How about taking a temp reading with one of the infrared gauges. Or take it to a shop that can do it. You can't rely on the car gauge except for approximate reading. I bet Harbor freight has the gauge. About $25. https://www.harborfreight.com/121-infrared-laser-thermometer-63985.html
