Hi all,I am need of a red auto choke sender but am unsure of where to buy one from. Can anyone point me in the right direction to one on the net??? Also can anyone tell me what the other 2 senders do??? There is a black one underneath and a grey one to the back of the red one.
cheers for any help

vw:
251 919 369 B - thermal switch for intake manifold heating, red - 10.14+VAT
grey is for the autochoke, black is for the dash temp gauge :)

Cheers mate,Im pretty sure its that i need.When i start my 1.6 it revs high for about 5 secs and then drops but this 1.8 one does not it just struggles from cold ,Does that sound about right???

probably wont make a noticeable difference when fired from cold, easy to test em use a multimeter and make sure the pins pass current when cold, and dont when car is warm. if its bust swap it out but i don't think it would cause the probs you are seeing.
the rev thing is what should happen so the 1.6 is all good :)
Assuming the 1.8 is still on the 2e2 carb, on the 1.8 check the 3/4 point unit is fully extended when engine is off, and then it retracts a couple seconds after car is started up. look over all the vac lines, and check the choke housing on the side of the carb gets warm pretty much straight after car is fired up, it should get coolant direct from the engine so will get boiling hot pretty soon after engine is fired up.
have a read of the 2e2 carb guide in the mk2 maintenance section, covers just about everything that can go wrong :)
