Let me be more specific. The coolant gauge on my '01 A4 behaved that way.
It had a dead range in the center, and it was designed to stay there and not
alarm the driver if it was a few degrees below or above 90C. Maybe it was
betw. 85C and 95C, I can't remember. Only if something was seriously out of
whack (big temp change) would the gauge move to the left or right of the
center. This could be easily monitored on the digital coolant temp display
in the climate control section - the temp would fluctuate a few degrees here
and there while the needle on the dashboard would not budge from the center.
Cheers,
Pete

now you are comparing analogue against digital and a few
degrees...........come on. The analogue gauge will not be mega bucks so I
would expect it to be +/-5 degree anyway.

You're not hearing what I'm saying. If this is a problem with you not
believing me, just go onto the B5 A4 forum on AudiWorld - everyone will
confirm that the coolant temp gauge on those cars has a dead range.
