["Roland Johansson" <scirocco@mail.bip.net>]

Wrong. I just bought a new overflow tank and was surprised, no
sensor. VW parts guy said they where sold separetly so I bought
one and screwed it in. So buy a new sensor and o-ring and change

The sensor is in the coolant overflow (16V right?). And mine is
also
problematic. But this is due to a almost invisable leak in the
sensor housing itself which
shorts out the connection giving a false warning.Unfortunately
though you
cannot just replace the sensor, you have to replace the whole
overflow tank unit.
HTH.

 Hey all, my water temp light has been flashing forever, there
is lots of
coolant and no leaks (that I can see anyway).  I remember I
asked about this a while
back and Dale recommended just wiping the sensor area as a
temporary fix.  Where
is the sensor?  What is going wrong.  There is lots of coolant,
it is still
reading normal water temps.  I seem to remember something about
replacing a sensor
on the oil cooler.  I leafed through the Bentley but couldn't
find any info.    
Any help appreciated.
