Pannier_Tank Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Hi, Could someone help please? I have an 02 1.9TDi Galaxy that has started to develope a problem. I noticed that the temperature gauge on the dash was working intermitently. As the gauge drops the engine revs rise to just over 1100 rpm. When you are driving in low gears it launches you around the corners. When the temperature gauge rises the revs drop back to the normal 900 rpm. Also if you restart the car whilst it still warm it revs up as it starts & then drops back. Many thanks PT Quote

Try the water Temperature sender unit, located--Back of engine block, right hand side. Buy an original more expensive- vw part replacement.. not patent as they may not be calibrated to match the E.C.U input corectly .. so you could still end up with rev probs ... Which i found out to my cost and waste of time... Happy days with correct unit.. hope it works for you A.T.Bst mate Quote

chrispb123456 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Posted October 22, 2011 The temperature sensors are colour coded and you must replace with the same, have attached picture as an example. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-GALAXY-COOLANT-TEMP-TEMPERATURE-SENSOR-1100619-NEW-/180657374422?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a1004c4d6 Quote
Pannier_Tank Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Posted October 25, 2011 Thanks for that. Any idea which one is suit to the ANU coded engine. Its a bit of a pig to see, but it looks black. Cheers PT Quote
