When changing a sensor....
« on: 20 November 2011, 10:49 »
Hi all,

As some of you know my car (MK3 GTI 8V) hasn't been running to healthy recently, but after a bit of head scratching, autodata reading and some multimeter probing  :rolleyes: I've managed to find the fault...temp sender or (ECT) Engione coolant sensor as is says in the auto data book...

Autodata: 80*C - 325ohms
Mine:       80*C - 149ohms :sad:

I wanted to know once I've changed sensor do you need to reset the ECU? disconnect the battery? remove Fuse? or is it a simple swap over and let it sort its self out???
