Coolant Gauge - Mind Of It's Own

[X1XXM]

I'm hoping that this is just an anomaly as the digital temps seem normal.

Coolant gauge decided to freeze upon turning car off the other night; yesterday decided not to move and then swing around to 120c - despite digital temps remaining constant?

Has anyone come up against this before with their own clocks? Car is only at 1300miles so will run it down to the dealer; just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas as it appeared from nowhere?

Apologies too as I think I should have put this in the technical thread....

Well you have an electronic dash ,it could be the gauge or the temp sensor in the engine ,.Best to let the dealer know about this one .

Thanks - will do - just frustrating !! as I went from Merc to Audi in 2009 (Had a CL500 with No end of issues, new passenger airbag, new n/s headlight, new drivers sear) due to gremlins in build quality

Whizzed down to the stealers. Confirmed it's not a sensor and requires a new instrument cluster. Booked in after the silly season.
