My A3 1.8T Sport Quattro (52 reg) seems to have developed a fault with the temperature gauge on the dash board, its only seems to work now & then, so looks like an intermittiant fault, anyone any ideas on how to fix this problem?
HI,ON THE COOLANT HOSE RUNNING ABOVE THE GEARBOX NEXT TO THE CYLINDER HEAD IS A COOLANT SENSOR THIS IS A 4 PIN SENSOR BLUE OR GREEN,REPLACE WITH THE LATEST TYPE,USE THE OLD ONE AS A SAMPLE IF YOU MUST AND IT SHOULD SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM,LET ME KNOW,ANDY
Check out http://forums.fourtitude.com/zeromain there is some diy posts which will show you the location for your a3 outside temp sensor. I suggest that replacement is the best solution unless the connection is just corroded then a good contact cleaner should solve it.
ahh it seems as if there is no specific post for this topic.
there are 2 locations for the sensor that I know of. One is on the lower rad support right behind the front bumper cover or in front of the passenger side wheel well again behind the bumper cover.
