If this is broken does it stop the water temperature gauge registering a temperature? Think this bust in my girlfriends MK4

Yeh mine was really unreliable before change. Kept dropping and dancing and could never give a proper reading

Likewise.
Did anyone notice a drop in MPG while the sender was playing up? Replaced mine now and im getting a few more miles for my money.
