Coolant Temperature sensor

Post by VGTI »

Quick question...

I need to replace this thing, I have the emmissions light on and the gauge dance like a queen. It is at 90 most of the time but often dip to 0, 50 or 70

Everyone talks about getting the green one... is the green one from GW good enough or should I get one from a dealer?

I thank you for your time

I have used the ones from GW many times and they seem just fine.

Thanks Stephan!

Went to a dealership on Friday to price the thing :eek: R770 without o-ring and clip

R190 from GW (Borsehung) for all three... I don't think the parts guy at the dealership was too impressed when I said they are just Fn crazy...

Borsehung is OE anyway. No issues with them.
