the temp sender tells the ECU how much fuel to put in depending on engine water temp (think of it as a choke)

so if that is knackered it will tell it to throw fuel in for fun

contact me via PM for help regarding VAG COM  :wink:

These are for a AUM engine, green sender. These prices are without VAT. 5 minute job to do.

should be a button called Clear DTC or soemthing similar - click that and then rescan and with a bit of luck your code should disappear
