| Subject: | Re: erratic oil temperature indication |
Markus,
Good question, simple answer:
You have a loose and/or corroded connection.
You cannot inspect visually... Remove the connections, clean them, replace
the star lock washers with new. WHAT'S that you say... No, star lock
washers? That's the other part of the problem.
Good Luck,
Barry
