Re: Blue Temp Sender
« on: 10 November 2011, 11:21 »
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!

Remove the connector to it when engine is warmed up. If engine noise doesn't change it's definately fubared.

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?
