Since you've ascertained that there IS a resistance difference in the sensor 
between Hot and Cold, why are you intent on replacing it?  If it ain't 
broke....

You don't mention whether the gauge reads or not, or what it reads.  Your 
problem may be as simple as a voltage regulator or a mis-connection 
someplace.
