Roger Chatfield 0 Posted December 16, 2013 Evening chums, as some of you know the oil temp on my mfa is reading high so I'm thinking I probably need a new sender. So, where is best place to buy one, also does anyone know the part number. Many thanks, Rog. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlosterOx 0 Posted December 16, 2013 Mines stopped reading completely now Roger, where is it situated so I can check it? Ian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wompa 0 Posted December 16, 2013 The sender is lockated on the oil filter house. There is two pressure sensors and one temp sender. A new one cost around 20 at VW. https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTMS1UV4JJqOI6R3q694HbTa1JfPXg1S_-n9o_5UG6MkXB7ivrm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted December 16, 2013 Just order from Volkswagen themselves. I'd be surprised if this is an obsolete part yet - I recently ordered both the high and low pressure senders from Volkswagen which sit in front of the oil temperature sensor on the oil filter housing. Be warned - you're in for some fun getting to it, and swapping it as access is extremely limited :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldie 2 Posted December 17, 2013 Still available from the dealer… I did this recently but had the hole filter housing off.. Access was a combination of from underneath, down behind the radiator and through the drivers side headlight.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also found out recently that if you undo the front engine mount and jack the front of the engine up access becomes much easier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Chatfield 0 Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Thanks for all the info chaps, I've just ordered one from VW heritage using the part number quoted, I'll let you know how I get on. Rog. Edited December 18, 2013 by Roger Chatfield Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buttles 0 Posted December 19, 2013 Have you checked the condition of the connector on it? The electrical connectors have no rubber boot like the pressure sensors and corrode. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted January 7, 2014 yep, the wire at oil end just snaps off, seen a few do it now. Quite easy to solder back together though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
