CazzaVR 0 Posted March 28, 2007 I'm miles from any VW garages, so getting parts is a PITA! Got a Ford garage up the road though- anyone know if the blue temp sensor in the stat housing is the same as on a Ford VR engine? Gonna get all my stat seals/housing/bolts from Ford too, as they are all quite a bit cheaper! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CazzaVR 0 Posted March 29, 2007 Well, just ordered the sensor, all the seals, bolts and bottom two parts of the housing (won the top part on Ebay for £11 ;)), and all I can say is: GET YOUR VR6 ENGINE PARTS FROM FORD! Sooooo much cheaper, and they get them in quicker too (next day). Everything is basically 1/3 cheaper, so still cheaper than VW even after discount!

peanut 0 Posted April 30, 2007 just got some prices from ford. That blue sensor is £20.75 (vw is £14.13) but a sump pan works out about a quid cheaper from Ford £63 as opposed to £64) Gav Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted April 30, 2007 That's the wrong sensor, Gav. Think that's the price for the yellow one (blue on Fords). My local Ford garage got them mixed up too cos of the colour. Mine was £8.01 + VAT, part no. 1669965 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CazzaVR 0 Posted May 1, 2007 I'll hold you to that :) No joy- he couldn't give me the paint code and it was too far to travel :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
