Problem solved! Thank you all for your help!

Error seems to be found. Damaged wiring. Colors of wiring fit to sensor wiring. Seems to happen quite often exactly in this spot. I'm going to repair it and will give feedback

Thanks a lot Pete!! Yes, I noticed that the loom plug was a little bit wet. But maybe it got wet while disassembling, because I dismounted the sensor from the pipe with the plug still mounted on the sensor.....

by the way: is the a G83 sensor in the BMN or only the G62?

Struggeling with the same problem at the moment. BMN, 200000 miles. Replaced the G62 twice. 1x Hella, 1xFebi. VCDS always showing 90 degrees coolant temperature, fan running. Also showing the 90 degrees with G62 disconnected. Error Message alwas the same (000280 sensor for coolant temperature G62 - P0118 - 006 signal to high). I also think there is wiring problem :-( As i`m new to this forum (I'm German), i'm not able yet to send PM @Breezy_Pete to submit my FIN for a wiring diagramm for my BMN. Best regards Thom
