My 94 Audi 80 2.0E has started to go off a cylinder when started. More smoke is evident and the temperature guage refuses to move. Cylinder head gasket? Likely cost? car has 130k and is in excellent condition. Has been very reliable and economical. Any help appreciated!

have you checked for a spark at each plug, or a fuse in the temperature sensor cct perhaps?

It sounds as though the car is operating in the 'limp home' mode due to the coolant temperature sender not working. You may be lucky by just cleaning this sensor if not a replacement is needed. Was the temperature guage working before the problem?
