Default Coolant gauge (temp) does not work
I changed my plugs, wires, along with my oil today and all of a sudden, my guage on my dash for temp of coolant does not move (stuck on 100). Did I maybe touch something? Thanks. This happened with my mothers VW also last year.

You don't state what model year but check the connector in the pass side head between # 6 & 8 plugs.You probably knocked the wire off.

think that coolant sensor is on the front of the block under the air intake, a small 2 wire weatherpack connector.
