Heya All,

I'm hoping someone will be able to stop me becoming bald here, I've just brought a Audi 80 Sport SE Auto the engine is of the ABK type, and the car has air conditioning, as looking at the online parts catalog this seems to make a difference to the temperature sensors used, but I still can't work out the answer to:

I think I've found two temperature sensors in a coolant pipe attachment to the engine, my question is what does each one do?

One has a blue socket and uses two blade type pins, the other a purple/pinkey colour with three round pins.

Thanks,

Mike

One is for the engine management [purple, I think] and the other is for the gauge on the dash.

Cheers

Cheers Guy,

I'll play a bit more tomorrow, got a bit dark whilst I was trying to do my research!
