jims13 6 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 anyone no where the coolant temp sensor is located on the 2.0 16v abf lump..we brought the car from russ vr6, and the car itself is great , but its suffering from poor performance and very poor mpg. also the temmp dont go above 70 ish degree's..so we are gonna change this first then the other little bliters..any photos would be great , as its a little difficult to change it in the dark.

thegoth 5 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 From my new Haynes guide:"The sensor unit is screwed into the left hand of the cylinder head on 2.0 litre 16-valve models." Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 arse thought as much, i picked up the one for the vr thinking it would be the same..ill change it tommorrrow for the right one... anyhting else nigel it may be, symptoms as above.. i persnoally think the zorst is blocked as its very raspy and flat, not at all like a good valver Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 KiloKilla previously suggested the vacuum pipe between ECU and intake manifold when mine was playing up. It acts like the VRs MAF in measuring air intake.I've got a spare length if you wan't to try. It's £7 a metre from VW!! I should have your address so I'll post it to you. It's only light.

jims13 6 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 no worries nigel, i have a fair few meteres of nice blue vacum pipe, ill try replacing it..but im sure it the temp sender to the ecu, as the car never gets above 70, and i no that the fueling is related to the temp.

thegoth 5 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Jim, whilst your under the bonnet could you do me a favour and meter out the electrical supply to the ABS hydraulic pump. Is there 12V there all the time, or only when the brakes are applied, or only if the ABS wants to kick in? Obviously the last one can only be proved by a process of elimination if stationary. Could you also measure the resistance of the motor?I've got a ABS pump error and am hoping it's only the supply.N. Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Scrap that Jim. In the process of unplugging and plugging things back in a dodgy connection now seems to have fixed itself. I've got ABS for the 'Ring :-DFor future reference: there is a supply to the pump all the time the ignition is on and the internal resistance was about 3 ohms. Link to post Share on other sites
