Oil Gauge never moves
Dude! My oil gauge never moves up or down, it stays the same whether I change the oil or not, abuse the car, or drive it like a granny. Shouldn't that needle be moving every once in a while?

Even if it did move, they're dummy gauges; the only time they would go down technically speaking would be if you ran out of almost all oil leaving you screwed before your engine went. Sounds like yours hasn't been functioning for some time. If you want a real time oil gauge I would look into gauge kits to mount in the car. There are DIY threads on this here.

The water temperature doesn't even start moving until about 215 degrees and only then just a little. By the time you notice it isn't in the normal position you are 220+ degrees and well past the saturation point of your cooling system.
The oil pressure gauge is totally useless so I'm not surprised it was removed in the S2.

It's not an oil temperature gauge, it's a pressure gauge.
No doubt if the gauge showed actual pressure amounts it would just freak people out so it just doesn't move.
