temperature gauge trouble....
Moderator: martauto
haveing trouble with mt temperature gauge can you help.when i start my car and drive about a mile the gauge is sitting on half way should it take longer to heat up. then if i give it some it goes to the third line then starts jumping up and down. if i put the heaters on it comes back down to half way never sits any lower then half way does this sound right...my car is a 325i sport....

Tight nuts sorted your temp gauge out, koos. Loose nuts were the problem!

Two knurled round nuts up behind the bottom of the cluster holding on the trim piece directly below the cluster.
Two tiny silver self tappers and four black self tappers. Remove the front surround. Two more black self tappers.
Pull cluster out, laying it its front as it comes. Flip up the black locking straps on the white and blue (and yellow, if fitted) connectors. Unplug connectors, plus any lamps on flying leads, such as ABS warning, and wriggle the cluster to the left out from behind the steering wheel.
