2001 S4 is approaching its first birthday and I just noticed the temp gauge seems to be failing. I'll be cruising along and everything's normal, all of a sudden I glance at the gauge and it's at dead cold. Wait a bit and the needle slowly climbs to where it should be. Wait a while more and it'll drop down again. First noticed this starting a few days ago during a spell of particularly hot weather.

Anyone's temp gauge fail in this manner? If so, did Audi manage to replace it without ruining the car's interior? BTW, what's with the Search option on Audiworld? Doesn't seem to know what the hell it's doing (telling me I haven't entered any words, then finding some posts but not displaying them)?

Thanks in advance for any info.

For me, my coolant temp sensor is broken...if it's doing whacky things then take it to the dealer.

Yea, sorry, coolant (not oil) temp gauge.
