The consensus seems to be that it's either the thermostat or the temperature
sensor. It should be simple and relatively inexpensive for a competent Audi
mechanic to test the temperature sensor. The cost to replace the thermostat
would be considerably more.

Re: 2001 A4 1.8T coolent temperature gauge
Thanks for all the replies. In either case (temperature sensor or
thermostat), do I need to get it fixed immediately? Or can it wait
until next week?

As long as the temperature indication remains only slightly off normal, it
shouldn't hurt to wait until next week.
