Mike, were you just starting the car? Was it running? Was it in the ACC position with the engine off? I don't think you gave enough info.

If it keeps doing this, I think a call to Hans is in order!

Well lets see, I had just started the car. I had been driving for about 10-Min the temp gauge never moved past 0. The red light next to the temp gauge (R-Side)
was flashing, then in just an instant the gauge jumped up to 180 and the red light stoped.

Short in the engine temperature sending unit or whatever it's called is my guess. It wasn't working and then it started up the way it should.

Couldn't it just be the coolant is low?
I saw the red light flashing on mine once,
but not over heating. Just needed some water.
