does your oil temp gauge do this?

[txrocco at sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

chances ares you have a bad ground situation, I would inspect clean and
upgrade al grounds on the car (battery to engine mount)-(alternator to
block)-(chassis to valve cover) I bet you that your "guage issue" will
resolve itself, the headlights will get brighter..

=>I've owned my Scirocco for about two years now and haven't
=>noticed this problem until recently.  My oil temp gauge is funky:
=>
=>-when you shut the engine off but leave the ignition on(turn off
=>switch back on immediately), it shows about 2-3C less than before.
=>
=>-when I use the turn signals the needle bounces a bit.
=>
=>-when I turn on the parking lights it reads about 1C higher,
=>headlights bring that up to 3C higher, and brights make it 5C
=>higher(so with all on it is 5C higher than with all off).
=>
=>could this be in any relation to why my oil temps have been about
=>10C higher than usualy lately?
