Air temp sensor (broken or not)
NealPeal:
I need an air-temp sensor, I'd pay for a second hand one or a broken one even, but I can imagine the owners of working ones keeping them, they are rare probably.
But a broken one I can pull to bits would be great if there's one in a box anywhere I can pay for.
I touched cloth when I saw this..
The symptom to cure is that the Ecu thinks it's -11'c and the VCD voltage reading is what is on the meter between 2 of the pins so I can suspect the unit.
For the £220 VWHeritage need for the part I'll attempt to fix the broken one. I didn't realise it was the CO pot too...? I always imagined that to be a turnpot but not from what mine looks like... If the Haynes is right then there's 2 resistances just down to earth (I've checked in <1ohm). Maybe one is set "by provincial governance" to their desired level, and one is a thermistor... It reacts strangely to digital resistance probing so I recon it's silicon in some way or another, changing the visible thermistor might be an idea too, but I'd like to see one torn-down just to see..
Jeepers its' a lot but if it stops the over-fuelling it'll save me a cat... Once it works it's going I recon, but it's got to be OK first...
Cool

Got a few on the shelf 50 quid

Thanks grungey, I'll keep that in mind VW heritage wanted a shed load for one!!
Somehow my engine started being brilliant and the temperature went to normal ish when i was fiddling with the wiring and i dint need one after all, i should have taken this off.. i recon i could stick a new thermistor in if there's any broken ones
Many thanks, i might need one one day thanks..
Appreciated

whenever I've used vagcom/vcds/vwtool it's already shown me a crazy value for the inlet air temp sensor, values of -11, -20 etc... I don't think this is a faulty sensor. I've tried it with multiple sensors.

Weird as! Well offers always here mate, I’ll be running three g engines so always keep spares.
Just got my diagnostic plug so looking forward to having a play and I’ll check the values of mine
