Might sound drastic but this is an extremely battered example with 200k miles. Definitely needs new rear discs and pads as well as whatever else they pick up on. Too much of an unknown on what is now a pretty worthless car! I'll try belling the cable out before it goes to the sensor connector.

Oh dear, looks like the car is a scrapper then. I've been looking at replacement connectors to splice in in the hope it's the sensor connector end that's at fault. Even tempted to knick the wire to expose the conductor to test from the ECU plug.

Ok so I've had chance to look and I've got no continuity between pin 2 and 104 on the ECU connector. What's the thing to do with this? Change the loom?

Thanks both, much appreciated. Abandoning the car at work and will look tomorrow. Sensor end was moist from coolant I spilled in it. Squirted with WD40 and left to dry but no luck. They don't really look that corroded in any way though.

Tried WD40 on the connector but no joy. Sorry for being dense, but is it these connectors I'm meant to be checking as I don't see the pins numbered?

Brilliant, thanks for the information. Blowing a gale and torrential rain here so will check those connections when it calms down. I'm thinking that I got coolant in the connector when replacing it at the sensor end - wonder if that's caused an issue? And if so, not sure how best to clean them? WD40?

Hi all. First time poster here but used this forum for many a fix on my 2006 1.9 TDI PD100. I had the P0118 code and EML on, so replaced the coolant temperature sensor. The code and EML keep coming back after a reset. I've read that this can be a wiring issue, so I've checked as much as I can physically and all looks OK. Does anyone have any pictures of usual areas they may chafe or become damaged? Also I've seen to measure from the plug to ECU - is that on the connector to the ECU itself? Any help would be much appreciated as MOT is up on Saturday and I have no money to get this sorted by someone else beforehand. Thanks!
