Unhappy Temp Gauge

The other day I took off the Instrument Cluster, because of the blinking neddle. Now my temp gauge is higher than it was.
In the morning when I run the engine cool, it marks the first point.
Does enybody had this prob.?

Try loosening the 5 screws behind the gauge. Then tighten them again. BE CAREFUL, the screws can strip the plastic in the gauge.

Imp. Note: :eek:

When you take off any neddle of the cluster, you have to be careful, because the place where the neddle goes is doesn't fit exactly. The hole of the neddle is bigger than the wire of the mechanism. So actually you can adjust the point of the neddle for about two point maximum in the case of the temperature cluster.

I think that why some guys say that you need to RECALIBRATE the cluster if you change the neddle by yourself.
Because there is no way to recalibrate in different way.
