VR6 Temperature sensor wiring questions !!!

[JIMMI 0]

Hi dudes

Ive got a VR6 here with a non functioning temperature gauge, it wont even move from the stop. Ive changed both the Yellow & Blue temp sensors with brand new VAG items today and it still wont register anything on the gauge.

Im thinking its either a problem with the wiring or a fault in the clocks, so i need to earth the gauge out to see if i can get any sort of reading, which wires do i need to earth out on the yellow sensor to do this ???

 

Cheers Jimmi...................

Brown/green pin 3 onto blue/white at pin 2. If you do this you can damage the fascia. Really you should put a 75Ω resistor across these pins to simulate approx 100°c.

Cheers for the reply mate

is a 75 ohm resister easily available from the likes of maplins ???

also do the wires from the sensor go straight into the back of the clocks or do they go to the ecu ? i would like to do a continuity test on them.

 

cheers. jimmi.........
