You are the only one who showed how to disconnect the connector without breaking, thank you!!!

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks for watching :)

Just replaced mine, it was a horrible experience. Managed to drop the new rubber ring while coolant was pouring out, but i did manage to get it installed thanks to this video!

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Oh dear !. Yeah it's a bit of a job getting it out and replacing it without losing too much coolant. At least you got it sorted. Good work ! :)

[@procrastination3560]

Thank you so much other's didn't show it like this

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You're very welcome !

[@martinnaylor]

Great video there,I've been trying to locate the temp sensor on the wife's 1.6 16v Mk4 as the temp gauge needle doesn't move at all and it has the management light on too,it will sometimes miss under hard acceleration. Think ill be getting my hands dirty soon as it looks an easy fix.👍🏻👍🏻

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Best of luck 👍

Thank you so much to showed how to do...✍💪🍾🍾

The Best video explaining The procedure clearly and showing all details. By the way I have tiguan 1.4 tsi 2012 and there is start problem in the mornings unless I push gas pedal a little. Can the problem be this sensor? But my heating indicator doesn't appear to have a problem

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks. Yes it could be the coolant temperature sensor or a number of other things, including the throttle body. Just out of interest, when you turn the key to the 'on' position, without starting the car, do you hear a high pitched noise from the throttle body idle control motor ?

[@philipmurray4065]

@@screwsnutsandbolts i dont know where throttle body idle control motor but when I'm in the car and turn the key without starting the car I hear that noise. By the way after writing you I used an obd II device to check for errors and I got "P1259 engine coolant system valve short to ground" error and I cleared it and I don't know what it is and what will happen tomorrow morning I try to start the car

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

@@philipmurray4065 I've not heard of that error. If the problem persists I'd advise taking it to a mechanic to have it looked at.

[@atakan888]

Thanks for the video. There is no service near my home and my polo has bad sensor. I can change it by myself thanks to you.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Just did my engine overhaul on 1.4litre Polo 2002 but when you start it temperature increases after a few minutes before it even moves.Could changing temperature sensor help

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

It's possible but it could also be a faulty thermostat

[@6kd6]

Hello, and thank you for all your videos. I would really appreciate if you can help me identifying the part involving a thin hose/tube on top of the HERE IT IS arrow, with heat protection only on its end. Please see minute 00:49. It is broken in my unit and I do not know the replacement part. Maybe you can help me. Thank you. Regards.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Do you mean the EGR exhaust control valve: www.123spareparts.co.uk/car-parts/metzger/p-8030877

@@screwsnutsandbolts yes… the vacuum tube that goes to the back is bad… thanks

My engine control lamp still lights up... do i need to reset it, after it works?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You might have to reset the error code but is it possible there's another reason why the the light came on ?. It might be worth taking it to a garage to have it checked out.

[@Kknd626]

This it tiguan TSI same?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I'm not sure

[@shadisafadi2894]

Hello, I have a problem and need help, the temperature remains 0, and the cooling fans are working all the time. I hope for help. Thank you

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

It could be caused by a few different things like low coolant level, a faulty thermostat, or a failing coolant fan switch.

[@MALUMEMALUME-mn9tg]

What if you put a new temperature sensor with same part number but when you start your car it start after many attempts

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Did it start ok before you changed it ?

[@MALUMEMALUME-mn9tg]

@@screwsnutsandbolts yes but the problem it doesn't go up the gauge
