Default Prosport Oil Temp Gauge not steady

Hi All,

I installed a Prosport oil temp gauge at the weekend and I have notice that the needle does not stay steady and in some cases bounces down to the rest then back up to 80 degrees.

I have checked in installation and it all appears to be ok has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks.

Prosport gauges suffer badly from ill-fitting connectors behind the gauges.

Check that the little plastic connectors are pressed FIRMLY home. If necessary use a small screwdriver to help.

This.

When you push the connector in the back of the gauge you will hear a 'click' when it locates properly.

That's a good point thanks for the suggestion I will give that a go.

No help, I know, but pretty well par for the course for Prosport!
