Default Intermittent Gauge issue?

I noticed today that my temperature gauge wasn't functioning (had the car for a little over a week and it functioned fine).

Ran a log on Vag-Com and it the temp is a little slow to rise? I didn't break the 80* barrier until ~8mins.

Temp gauge would go up to halfway before, not it won't move (pegged at C) or will peg somewhere else. It pegged at a little before 5/8 earlier and 1/8 as well. When I turn the car off the gauge stays there.

Scanned for codes and I have none. I monitored the Coolant Temp and the gauge in no shape represents true coolant temp (IE 85* when car was pegged at 5/8 earlier)

What should I be looking at? Possible failed gauge?

Ran a gauge sweep on the car...temp gauge did not move. Guess my gauge is bad.

Car had heat just fine this morning after like 2mins so...
