Thanks for the replies. Can anyone confirm that the part number is 06A919501A? Cheers

Hi there Does anyone know the part number and the best place to buy a coolant temperature sensor for a Fabia 1.9TDI (ATD). From a quick check on line, it looks like they have several different types listed. Cheers

Yep, it's a MK 1.

Excellent post!

Only really noticable when it gets dark earlier, maybe?

Mines been doing this for the last 2 and a half years, normal for electric power steering.

Its a 'feature' of manual climate control, I believe they are all the same.

Thanks Woolfy, thats the bit! I have pulled and pulled and feel it's gonna snap if I pull anymore harder, perhaps I should order a new one before trying again. Thanks

Anyone?

Hi chaps I am after some advice on centre console removal. I cant figure out how to remove the bit of plastic thats located in front of the handbrake, I have pushed, pulled, prized, yanked, poked a screwdriver in, twisted, swore, sweated and then gave up. I know my way around cars but this little sod of a bit of plastic will not come out! Any ideas before I snap it off? Thanks in advance

I have standard ones which creak like buggery, although silent when it raining

My next car will be an SDi as I don't use the power of my TDi in everyday use. Things I don't like regarding the TDi is the PD engine which requires VW 505.01 spec oil, the turbo which is a potential nightmare if it fails. My friend owns a garage and has had a few ATD PD VWs which have 'let go' without warning, giving their owners bills of around 3K, he reckons the SDi unit, albeit slow, is really robust. The SDi will suit my driving style anyway.

I have a TDI and would swap it for an SDi tomorrow

I had standard replacement springs fitted when one of mine snapped and my passenger side creaks and knocks like a goodun, I had the top mount bearing and console bushes changed and its still the same, its driving me mad at the moment!

Mine had a problem and wasnt working, I traced the fault to a hole in a pipe which routes close to the exhaust (see pic) Check all pipe carefully
