High oil temps?

[brian_wagner@sbcglobal.net (brian_wagner@sbcglobal.net)]

Check your grounds an supplement, I recently did this to my 16v which had
the same problem. After cleaning grounds and adding a few new grounds it now
runs cooler. Actually just has less resistanc ein the circuit which allows
the gauge to work better.
