Temp gauge 99% of the time reads 50 (lowest point), go over a pothole and sometimes it might read a normal value but I'm going to change it as I'm getting pretty bad MPG, around 500 miles to a full tank (used to be 600+, mostly A-roads). I'm guessing the car thinks its running cold so overfuelling, no other symptoms, Its not the thermostat as the heaters blow super hot and fairly quickly even from a cold start. And I've never had a hot start issue. It throws up the CEL now and then, sometimes it goes by itself, sometimes I have to clear it using a handheld scantool (it doesn't read the specific code on this car, just clears the light) I had it scanned on VAGcom with the following reported:

I've stuck my reg number into GSF and its come up with two temperature sensors, which is the one I need? And can either be fitted? One is listed specifically for the AVF engine, its green and 4 pole, £13, the other doesn't say what colour it is, its 2 pole and is £9. Can't see anywhere online saying which one is better or newer. My car is an A4 Sport, 1.9TDI with the 6sp box.
