Your gauge seems to be jammed!

That happens when the water is dirty as the capillary tube is very thin and easily blocked.

Sometimes a needle in the sending end will clear it.

You can fit a standard gauge on the pipework.

hi will a new gauge solve this

The gauge probe plugs into a manifold-like connection on CDI. Dirt usually collects in the port. It is that which needs cleaning, not a new gauge.
