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

make sure you check if you have the square plug or the rounded one my 99 gti needed on and I bought the square one before I checked the plug as mine is a v reg it has the 2000 onwards engine with the updated plug,as above don't buy cheap I bought one from euro car parts and it's sh!te make sure you buy a febi bilstein better quality

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:
