Yes that's it but for the love of god don't buy them from eBay go to Vw or Tps and only use gen parts

I can do genuine for £20 (£3 p&p) or Febi for £15 (£3 p&p) (I guess you need the blue colour?)

careful of some ebayer's/online sellers as they say genuine but they don't mean genuine VW

I'll have you know that I changed my temp sensor again earlier and managed to not get coolant in my mouth :grin:

It's also worth noting that I used a cheap sensor last time and it lasted less than a year, genuine one fitted now :wink:
