============================
on my 164L, the stepper motors finally gave up the ghost, & i was only getting
HOT air into the cabin - wery unpleasant when we were having 95-100 temps here
in maryland!  temporary fix was to open the hood, pull the plastic cover that
protects the a/c, hvac, wipers, etc.  on the passenger side, towards the center
of the car, yule find a cable/arm ass'y - pulling this cable out w/a screwdriver
effectively allowed the a/c into the car instead of the heat.  no temp gage
problems on my car tho...  ewe could czech if it's the temp gage by determining
if ewe can get your a/c compressor to come on, when trying to adjust the
temperature lower...

good luck
