Does anyone know where abouts it is i have'nt had chance to look for it yet and am going to change it tommorow as its faulty along with the new maf i've just replaiced is buggerd too, so getting that changed if dealer does'nt try to play daft ****'s with me seeing i only changed it on tuesday anyway is the coolant temp easy to replaice, thanks for any help and hopefully the car will start running properly after this.

This should help you. It's on a TT, but the sensor is in the same place enginewise.

It's just about here:

you need to remove the cover to get to it.

then look for this:

remove the top clip and it's all self explanitory:

Make sure the coolant is cool. If you slacken the coolant bottle top, make sure you tighten it back to normal before you replace the sensor, or water will wee everywhere.

It's very easy to fit, and takes no time at all really - well worthwhile, sorted my cars idling problem out instantly! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Got it changed looks abit different to mine though the fastening clip is plastic and pulls right out.

there are two different sensors, when i called vagparts they helped me out with the correct one. maybe this is why your's is a bit different. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/noidea.gif

so has it cured your car back to normal?
