Product Description

This 2-pin temperature sensor switch is designed to monitor and relay engine temperature information to your vehicle's control systems. It features a brass threaded body and a robust two-pin connector, ensuring a reliable electrical connection for accurate temperature readings. This sensor is an important component in managing engine cooling and performance, helping to prevent overheating and maintain optimal operation.

Compatible with selected Audi and Volkswagen models, including various Polo, A1, and A3 engine options, this sensor is suited for vehicles requiring a two-pin temperature switch. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure correct fitment before purchase.
