Temperature gauge sometimes works, sometimes doesn't...

Hello people,

I haven't yet suffered any overheating problems in my 993 for which I am eternally grateful. Took the kids out to the beach this weekend and noticed that the temperature gauge has basically stopped working. It occasionally cut in and showed normal working temperature, but most of the time it stayed at the bottom, obviously registering nothing.

Given the nature of a Hijet, it seems the temperature gauge is about as important as a steering wheel so I need to do something about this. Question is, is it likely to be a faulty sensor or potentially something more ominous?

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Thanks

Andy

Connector plug on the temp sender, the wires rot there.
