[Tigers] Temp Gauge Accuracy

[James Lindner]

Hi All,

My Mk1 is back in the garage after a long winter's rest and some work to
address body panel issues. One of the things I wanted to do after reading a
thread from a few months back, was to check the accuracy of my gauge using a
laser thermometer.

Well I did that today and to say it was off is an understatement. After idling
for 30-45 minutes the temp at the radiator and thermostat was
185...unfortunately my gauge was reading only about 150-155 (needle about half
way between 120 & 170.)

Since I did not save that thread...can somebody give me a rundown on the best
way to get my gauge in sync. Hopefully, it will be within my technical
capbilities.

Thanks,

Jim
