Hello All, I have an 89 GTI 16v. Recently i found one of the coolant temp sensors broken..It is the one of the three below the distributor, with blue and white wire. I beleive it is for the ECU.? So for the same reason, my car is still thinks it is running cold all the time,,more fueling! I believe the VW part number for that is 049 919 501 checked with VW it is 35..!! So i checked with GSF, they dont do it..checked with Eurocar parts, said they do it , 8 ! But when i went to collect, it doesnt have the spade connector, instead it is got some round pushtype connector in it...! Doh..! Any ides from my fellow memebers on this situation..? Buying from VW would be my lst option. The eurocar part number is 460440020.. HELP.! kannan
Does this pic help? Different type of sender, but same connection method I suspect. Might need to cut some plastic off the housing if it's in the way.
hahah..Wow..! u know i was thinking of an idea to connect it the whole day..! Thank you very much. i must buy the sensor and give that a go. Thanks 'EZ Pete.'
well i saw that..but, the temp range for both (one in my car and the euro car part one.) looks same 125C max...and i think this sensor is been used on a some diesel too..(90 bhp one.?) Hope i can get a solution soon..!

the data looks right but picture is wrong in that looks more like the ABF one it should look like this or like this from some aftermarket companies (ths is an oil temp sender but temp sender same style)
Thank you Jamesa @ 'Neil Kaya', i have seen the after market type sensor from Eurocar parts (460440020). How did you mange to fit it..? As 'EZ Pete's picture..? @ Gaddmeister: i did try GSF, they said they used to do the part but cant get now. If you have any partnumber i can try them again. Again, Thank you all for your help.
has the spade broken off the sender? It happened to mine and i brazed the spade back on, You may be able to solder a wire to it as a temp repair?
@Mk216vrick: yes it broke off from the sensor. I am thinking of getting the the after market sensor and connect as Pete mentioned above..will let you know how it went. cheers

Alright guys update on my issue. Bought the temp sensor from GSF(as they are close to me, so tried again) finally, part number 929vg0090- temp sensor 1 pin black, 5.10, replaced with the broken one. I def. did the connection as PETE's picture, runs sweet now.. Thank you all for their help.. Now i am after the oil temp sensor for the MFA. (oops! ) any idea for a KR enigne on where it IS..? i might start a new thread on that..
its at the back of the cylinder head ,on the gearbox side,has a black/green wire to it and its a different part number and sender,the on in my pic above (the bottom one) is an oil temp sender p/n 049 919 563 A
