Temp Gauge Fault?

[millemonster]

Hi,

Just turned my car on this morning and even before starting the gauge went straight to 90 and slowly creeps up as I drive.

Am I right in thinking the sensor is faulty?

Any advice muchly appreciated

Thanks

Hello Gez and 

If it just the temp gauge moving then I would say yes temp sensor, this could also be confirmed by doing a scan with Vagcom/VCDS lite.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes as soon as the ignition goes on without starting the car it goes straight to 90 and as the car warms up the gauge goes up too.

Will run down the local garage and see if they can do a diagnostics on it.
