Drinking fuel??

The advice I have is when your buying Blue Temp Sensors, buy genuine.

That sure will be a must! I've been down that road...

Does that mean not from GAP?

[mikinoz]

Yes, it means buy it from VW. For the record, I am only going off advice I have read on the internets - but the claims are the non OEM sensors give the better readings. $43 from a dealer is hardly going to break the bank.

Non OEM will be ok, but best to be certain with Digi's.

Picked one up today.

Thanks for that suggestion.
Just made an order from GAP and made sure NOT to get the blue temp sensor from there.
Looks like Ill be making a phone call to Bundy VW this weekend : ).

Ordered my two sensors from Matt. I'll let you guys know how it runs with the new sensors in, and the earth connected for the lambda.

They are genuine VW sensors too mate. I think the colour of one of em may be different, but it is a supercession. Sent you a couple of o rings too

[16v_kid]

Thanks for that Matt!



I'll let you know how it goes guys.

[16v_kid]

Fitted the sensors today.

I let it run to get the temp up and....IT WORKS!!

Temp gauge working, no misfiring or stalling either. Less smoke too since the lambda was connected.

Thanks again to all those that helped me find a solution to my problem.

Do you have a part number for the Blue Temp Sensor?
I rang up a nearby vw supplier and was told they could not supply me with the part (due to the fact that its a South African import, with a 2E engine)
Its just a blue temp sensor for a MK2 Golf GTI!!!

Good to hear your cars running better though

[16v_kid]

Contact Matt ( Golfloon) for the temp sensor. He sells original ones.

Took the GTI for a cruise last night and did notice a difference!

Engine is more responsive, and it feels a lot better to drive. Temp stayed steady as well.

A new problem has occur!

When in a stationary position, and you want to take off, the car wont rev or make any power. It will only have enough to move at a very very slow rate. After a few seconds has gone, it will return to normal and it will pick up revs easily. What could it be? Injectors blocked or something?
