Most temperature gauge problems are simply the nut on the back of the gauge coming loose (common problem). Remove the cluster (see wiki) and tighten M8 nut

if there is no heat from your heater then check the whole cooling system but also check the electric valve the opens and closes flow to the heater when you turn the dial to red on the dash the valve should open and allow water to pass check with a volt meter also the dial itself may be at fault as it ontrols the voltage to the valve if you think its this put 12v to the valve direct as you do this a click should be heard this tells you that the valve is ok its a pain to get to but they do get bloked because people forget to flush the system and use no anti freeze
