Title: quickie 16v sensor question
Post by: 01664gti on 10 April 2012, 13:14

Quick sensor question

I have a mk2 16v gti and i was looking at it today and noticed that there are 3 small sensors and 1 large at the gerbox end of the cylinder head.

Can someone please tell me what these are for so that i know for future reference/faults etc

Thanks in advance

3 small ones are all water temp sensors. Good for swapping round if you suspect a duff one as they're all exactly the same. Larger one is oil temp sensor.  :smiley:

The larger brown one is the thermotime switch for the c.s.i. The oil temp sensor is round the back, it looks the same as coolant ones, except it has a white collar not black. It has a black/green wire to it
