The Celica is 20 years old maybe that's why. No matter how hard I drive it'll only ever move ~1mm max - it doesn't even reach COLD! So yes, I think it's instrument failure, but feel free to correct me.
More importantly, what can I do about it? Do you think getting a replacement gauge from a wreckers would help, or may the problem lie somewhere else along the line? BTW, i'll be replacing the thermostat soonish, so maybe that's why although I doubt it as the car runs fine. I'd just like to know how hot it gets.
Also. is it possible to buy an aftermarket readout, i've seen kits at dicksmith that do this supposedly.
long post sorry.
thanks
