get the hose adapter and tie it in to the lower radiator hose. The stock gauge is about as accurate as guessing. And you probably need a new dash power supply.

where would you get one of them at and how does it screw in to it

Most cars have the sensor at the thermostat neck since that's the hottest point for coolant. You could probably retrofit your new sensor into the stock location.

And what brand water temp gauge did you get? Cheap ones are, well... cheap for a reason.

You can also test accuracy by using a non-contact infrared thermometer...

To be fair, you would need one on the lower and upper radiator hose and one in the head to get any real data, but the lower radiator hose would be a better place to get a reading from, as your measuring the temp of the water leaving the motor.

do a search on power supply fixes for the digi dash. Might be on azbum site or xenon or atlantic blue
