Engine Temp Guage

[mdj]

the temp gauge on my 2003 galaxy tdi auto ghia seems to work only sometimes when no temp is showing auto box shudders when changing any ideas only had car 2 weeks

Firstly, is the heater putting out warm air? If not, then either thermostat stuck open or water pump impellor slipping on shaft (common fault). If car is getting warm then the most likely culprit is coolant temp sensor not working (also a common fault). Covered lots on here, including some kind individual doing a 'how to' with pictures. If it is the sensor, make sure your new one is the same colour as the old one or you will get more problems.
