I have a problem with a erratic temperature gauge that jumps from 0 - 130 C and everywhere in between. I assumed the problem was with the green sending unit and replaced it three times. Once with a used OEM, a brand new after market, and another OEM sender. unfortunately replacing the sending unit hasn't fixed the problem.
I hooked up VCDS and notice that the ENGINE measuring block #1 shows and maintains the correct temperature regardless of the instrument cluster gauge movement However INSTRUMENT measuring block #3 shows erratic and sudden temperature changes.
I performed a instrument cluster output test using VCDS and the temperature gauge appeared to do a normal sweep. The instrument fault code is G2 sensor SHORT TO GROUND.
Is the problem in the wiring to the instrument cluster or with the cluster itself?
