they can be repaired mate, but it might cost more than the gauges are worth mate

these did a racetech duel oil pressure/temp gauge for me a few years back.same problem as yours the capilliary bulb had been cut off, and they replaced the whole pipe

if you don't have any joy with them mate i'll buy the water temp gauge off you
