I just ordered a VDO 310-907 water temp gauge for mine. Will have to wait and see how or if it works out. If it isn't accurate with the existing sensor I will order a VDO sensor and tune from there. EDIT: This gauge was not plug and play compatible. May call VDO tomorrow to see if it can be made to work. In the meantime I found my existing gauge has a connection problem inside on the ground. Cleaned all the connections and that didn't fix it but can twist the post the ground wires are on and it will start working.

I could care less about originality. I need accurate reliability and seeing as how this is at least the second Beede gauge mine has had I think it's time for a change. The Beede was fairly accurate when it worked but it's going full peg at least every other time I start it. It stayed pegged long enough to test and confirm the problem is in the gauge.
