so i'm cruising in my new turboII and i look down to see the temp guage climbing! i start to pull off into a parking lot and the needle is pointing where the guage says temp, but i also notice my gas guage is off the chart. now whenever i drive the car the temp and gas guages skyrocket and then fall back to normal operating areas. what couold be causing this?

let me guess this is a S5?

 

Thank god for the S4

 

its an 87! is this bad

 

Ya.. mine doesnt even move above the 1/4 mark no matter how hot, fast, and long I drive.

 

i would check your thermostat and then also change out your coolant. i don't know though cause i am a n/a guy. but the fuel thing i have no clue. mine doesn't work at all. but i would check the wiring on the back of the cluster and also the fuel level sender unit.

 

Never had this problem...........18K on my rebuild..

 

sounds like an electrical problem if the gas gauge is whaked out too. id invest in an aftermarket temp gauge just to be safe.
