Either the sender has an "open" or you introduce a wiring problem but doubtful as there is only one wire to play with.

I think your "new" sender has a problem but since you did not expect that you replace the gauge and introduce another problem and you are now chasing your tail

I would put your original gauge in, get it working properly (peg when the sender wire is unplug and at 0 when grounded).

Them put back you original sender to see if you are back with the original problem (stop reading at 3 bar).

If you are, then try the "new" sender and if it peg all the time at any RPM, you got a bad one.

Where did the "new" sender come from?
