My MY02 Liberty B4 temp gauge moves towards hot and back to middle randomly.
-No waterfall noise behind the dash
-Overflow tank level is consistent. middle or towards low in the mornings and just over the full mark after a long and hard drive.
-no bubbling in overflow
-new genuine rad cap and thermostat.
How hard is it to troubleshoot or replace the temp sensor, wiring, etc?

They're fairly cheap iirc.

Not sure if that helps out
MY01 Subaru Liberty B4 Tuned by Kido Racing
Body mods - JDM Front flairs and centre piece, STi rear spoiler
To Be Fitted: Blitz Front Mount Intercooler Assembly. (Wasn't cheap!)
Sequential twins are fun, nothing like letting your guard down then getting a swift kick in the arse at high revs.

Car has been running fine for a year.
I just haven't had a chance to drop by to a mechanic for testing.
Something I didn't mention is my fuel low light stopped working about 3 years ago. Didn't bother me but it has worked a few times since then.
The green light that shows the low beams or parkers are on went out ~4 years ago.
About 2 years ago i noticed the fuel gauge randomly dropping below E then would climb back to the correct level after a few mins or 20 mins.
The gold ring around the temp gauge went out a few months ago, but then started working the day after and has been working gine since...
To be honest, not too concerned about those small things, just want to know if my engine is actually getting
hot. I may consider buying another cluster in the future.
Does anyone recommend an aftermarket coolant temp gauge and where should the sensor be placed?

given all that shit - I'd be suspecting your temp problems are the solder joints on the cluster board, or any of the plugs going into it.
