I want to set up my digi as per Rubjonny's guide, but have a question regarding the Blue Temp Sender. Rj says to change this for a new one, but is that only if you haven't got a blue one already? Do you change it regardless of whether it is still working or not, and if so,how often do you need to change it?
I have done a search but couldn't find an answer!
-
if you change it and it dosnt make a difference then you know that not your problem then you can move on to somthing else
-
Remove the connector to it when engine is warmed up. If engine noise doesn't change it's definately fubared.
-
£36 for one of these from stealers!!!
-
only cost me £19 including the washer a week ago from vw in peterborough
-
VW Wayside in St Albans are saying that is the recommended price! How can there be such a difference? I want this for Saturday as it is in the garage anyway and I haven't got the tools to tune it myself! :angry:
-
Am I right in thinking I can only get a genuine Vag temp sender from the stealers?

I would guess from the picture with the OOOO Vag details Removed that it's a pretty fair assumption that it's not a genuine one... :laugh: :laugh:
And it's £10.00 cheaper than a VAG one.... BBT/VW Heritage cheaper than a dealer for genuine parts that's a joke.... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

It says "repro" in the description, which I assume means reproduction.

Does an engine come with that? :laugh:
I agree the geniuine ones are better made, but I've always said any sender is just a temperature pick up so if the water and anti freeze is in good nick as the oil it should improve the life of the sender. GSF should be a good one I've always thought?

Some sensors give totally the wrong value of resistance at given temperatures, making them useless. The temp sensors can govern quite a few things further down the line, so can throw many other settings out. So it is important to make sure the replacement is true/accurate. On a temp sensor purely for a dash gauge its not so critical, as it may under/over read, but as long as you know its at the 'normal' position /right temp and not over heating, fans work but hardly get used etc then its ok. On an ecu/wur etc reading sensor its far more important
