My son has a 98 Camaro V6 and his temperature gauge reads 30+ degrees too hot. I verified this by hooking an OBDII scanner up and when reading about 240 on the factory gauge its actually running between 205 and 210, like I suspected.

Does anyone know how to correct or replace the temperature gauge?
Not really interested in putting an aftermarket gauge in the car.
TIA,
Jay

probably the sending unit going bad.

if not, the only way to correct it is to get a different gauge cluster. the temp gauge is integrated into the cluster.

I replaced the sending unit with no change in reading.

Probably just a bad gauge. I wouldn't worry about it if you know its not overheating. If you want, 6 cylinder gauge clusters are reasonably easy to find in boneyards. Just make sure you get one out of a 98 because the 99+ clusters run off a digital signal and 97-98 run off an analog signal.

If you pull the cluster apart you can change the guage.
