My old vt wagon has an issue where the temp gauge randomly shoots right up to red hot range, triggering the overheat warning on the dash. The car clearly isn't overheating however. Usually the gauge will drop back to normal range pretty quick but this situation will reoccur at random. I changed-out the coolant temp sensor but this hasn't fixed the problem. I did notice the wiring for the plug that fits to the sensor has some wear (from rubbing I'd guess) but doesn't seem broken. Also I'd have thought if this was the cause, there'd never be power to the sensor, not intermittent power? I'm no mechanic but I'm reasonably practical with working on minor car stuff.
