blue temp sender

[siddleg]

alright all i need some more advice

i changed the sender hoping to cure a splutter at low speed in 2nd gear whilst going over speed humps or around slow corners but now when i start it after a few hours of standing it struggles to tick over for a 30 seconds so unless i rev it then its fine.

the sender is brand new from vw and is black

whats going on?

So you've put a Black Sensor in the Blue Sensor socket???

So now you have 2 x Black senders??

Black sender - gauge only.  Can't affect running of car.
Blue sender - ECU only. Can't affect gauge. Badly affects running of digifants if dying/dead.

Only about £15 for the right blue one from the dealer,  025906041A.

SO if he has put in a Black sender on the blue plug there is no wonder he has running problems...

BTW - Blue senders are £15.94 plus VAT - Just bought some last week...

WIll this sender also affect running of a 16v KR if it's goosed? I have poor cold start and idle issues when hot..

[X4MGS]

AFAIK Yes it will affect it...

AFAIK it's only digifants that use the blue sender.

So why does my 16v k-jet have one?

AFAIK it's only digifants that use the blue sender. 

I cant confirm this but ETKA list's them for KR & PB Etc - BUT I do stand to be corrected...
