Hi, I don't think you have to do much. Check that the thermostat is working properly (open and close) when temp rises.

Dash gauges stop working and wont start

Sounds like the cluster itself maybe bad, someone else can chime in, but newer cars have electronic clusters that move based on the computer. Get one at the junkyard and test it out (while at the junkyard)

Temp. gauge don't move past half on 1996 VW Jetta

Sounds normal. If the gauge moved further over, it would indicate an overheating problem, wouldn't it? Check that engine is at normal operating temperature after it warms up. If it is running too cold, your thermostat might be stuck open.
