if u could send me a pic when u can id really apreciate it, itll take me a day or so to get the new temp sensor,

any idea how much i should pay for the sensor?

DONT put a 2hnd one in get a gen VW one they only a few quid..I got a GFS one 1st and that was a duffer...

apart from no difference in running, how did you know it was a duffer..

because it used loads of juice plugs where black and the oil stank of petrol.Put in another temp sensor and all was fine couldnt think of anything else it could be and as it was a 2min job tried that 1st.Then took it to the local garage who checked it over just to be on the safe side and was all ok
