Same here. It used to fall to almost zero on my 300SD at warm idle and would bounce around until I changed out the sender, then it was perfect again.


And yes northern climate will destroy rotors/parking brakes over time, the newer cars have heavily coated rotors that helps minimize this but the older ones did not.
