The Temp gauge on my 1990 350SDL sometimes jumps from it's normal 85C to being pegged past 120C. No a slow ramp-up, like the temp is actually rising, but an a instaneous jump. 1'st time it scared the crap out of me and shut her down quickly and checked....not hot all and plenty of AF. Just as fast as it jumped past 120C, it returned to 85C....after going over a small bump in the road. Now, I can almost make it jump on command by giving the dash a short wrap with my knuckles. My thought was a loose connection, but I've been told that the gauges sometimes go bad.......That true?
Now........are the instrument clusters (Temp, Oil Pressure, Gas Gauge) on the 350SDL's the same as the older 300SD/SDL's? I can get my hands on one of them cheaply, or do I need to find one specifically for the 350? Dealer prices are a joke.....(If we did not know that already) Thanks......
