For instance, an eroded water pump impeller, or a blockage somewhere would [a] cause the increased temperature and [b] keep the temperature in the reservoir lower than the rest of the system. But if you're sure it's the reading, then I really don't know - senders and gauges never fail by reading a few % out - they just fail. Could be that you have a voltage leak onto the sender/gauge circuit. What does the gauge read when the engine is cold? That is, is it offset at all? -- Grunff
