coolant temp sender prices
« on: 09 February 2012, 13:42 »
Hi all,
Just rang VW because I am replacing the plastic housing piece that houses the coolant temp sender.................VW 'they are £35 not including the o ring'
Seems VERY steep
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)

Yup that's about right unfortunately mate :sad:

You could go with an ebay special but they tend to be hit and miss

Bear in mind mine was 12 years old before it needed changing :wink:
