Title: Which is the correct coolant temperature sensor?
Post by: sbloxxy on 28 June 2010, 09:09

As the title suggest, I'm not sure which one to buy. My car is a 1999 Golf Gti 1.8T and the temperature gauge is working intermittently. I've had a look at the coolant sensor and its got a plug with a black body. The other posts I've read on here suggest it will have either a blue or green body and the ones for sale on Ebay that look the most similar also have green bodies.
Simple question is which one do I need to buy? Will a green one fit?

yours will more than likely be the blue one mate as it's a T plater

get a genuine item from either the dealers or Trade Parts Specialists. Have a look in TPS Thread for part number and pricing idea

with AGUs it's always worth pulling the plug off to check if it's spade or pin type connector before ordering the new one .. as even with your reg/chassis number the dealers can still get it wrong
