    I would be really surprised if the problem is the cluster or the control
    unit. Both functions of the oil temp guage (oil level at startup, oil
    temp while running) commonly stop working because the wiring becomes
    brittle and breaks near the exhaust manifold. It runs to 2 sensors behind
    the engine. My guage was dead when I got my '89 (Peugeot said it needed a
    new control unit and guage); I fixed it in about an hour and wrapped the
    part where it broke in foil to try to shield the new wire. Both functions
    of the guage have worked for 3 years now.
