I have a 92 200tdi 110. The coolant gauge started to read over the red (after I ****ed around trying to remove the ****ty green filter over the bulb). I measured the thermostat housing with a temp probe, it was 69.8-70 degrees depending on where I measured. I checked the gauge earth and the sender earth, both read less than 0.01ohm (the lowest my meter will read). I found a gauge on eBay, new old stock, for a 200tdi. I stuck a bid on and won it.

The gauge turned up and appeared different. It has a white bar on the left, red on the right, and a thin white over the top. The old gauge has a solid white bar from left to right/mid, with a red bar right. The old gauge PN is PRC 7311, new gauge is NSN 6685 99 360 4483. I know this is a NATO Stock Number, but I can't find any reference to it on the web. Is it for a 200tdi? It reads almost at the 12oclock position after 8-9 miles in 15-20deg heat. I don't have the temp probe to measure the thermostat housing, but the hot air from the heaters "feels the same".

The temp sender is PRC 8593. Is this an OK setup?

I found a photo on google of the gauge with NSN and MPN. The NSN was 6685 99 360 4483, the MPN was AMR 2631. I also found a reference to all vehicles and engines up to MY02 (presumably td5), all ran the same gauge, AMR 2631.
