Michael_H Posted March 27, 2011 Report Posted March 27, 2011 Is there an Air Intake Temeprature Sensor in the Galaxy MK1, Tdi, besides the MAF? How would the engine's perfomance be affected if it is not installed when it sould or unplugged etc? I just purchased this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310299580750&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123 as I thought mine has shorted/burnt out. Thanks for your help Quote
chrispb123456 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Posted March 27, 2011 Air intake temp sensor is in the air charge pipe from intercooler.Water temperature sensor can also affect engine performance, this is located under the above said pipe near top radiator hose. Quote
Michael_H Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Posted March 28, 2011 Thank you for your reply. Would you take a wild guess and tell me how it would affect performance if said sensor is not plugged/functioning? Quote
chrispb123456 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 All sensors will affect performance in some way ie, loss of power going into limp mode.If you have these problems you really need to have a scan done with VagCom to see if you have fault codes stored, this can give you more clues to your problem. There are parts of the engine controls that work on vacuum, you need to check these pipes carefully as they split and perish and may be a simple fix. Quote
