    Angry Temp gauge problem?????

    I seem to have a problem with the temperature gauge on my 2003 veccie 2.0dti, basically all can be well temp up to operating spec 80-85 degrees then the gauge will give no reading, now its not a massive loss but i do seem to lose some power, also more noticeable is the fuel economy goes real bad....... This can come back on in 1 min or stay off for days and weeks. The car has been in to two garages all saying there is no proble???? Any ideas?????
    Stu.....
