x2 temp sensors????
« on: 20 April 2012, 19:46 »
right, after getting the fault code 16500 i thought that the temp sensor was knackered so brought a genuine item from vw and upon fitting ive noticed ive got two.
a blue 4 plug
a blue 2 plug

the haynes manual shows only one has anyone got any ideas? which one to replace?
