Title: Coolant temp sensor
Post by: One_punchmachinegun on July 23, 2013, 05:19:23 pm

What is the correct coolant temp sensor???

I was going to buy new coolant sensors for my 1989 1.6 n/a diesel, but when ordering on germanautoparts.com it show a sensor that I dont believe I have?
Thanks

All the time, Chris. 

And you can look up the coolant temp sensor for a MK1 VW, since what you have is essentially that.  Just look up on for a 1.6NA on a '82 rabbit or something.

http://www.gowestyautoparts.com/ (http://www.gowestyautoparts.com/) has them. Under "Belts and Cooling / Sensors."

The black sensor is for the gauges I think should be the same gas or diesel.
