Sorry, I not know where this temperature sensor is oldstan. The one I had replaced was billed as part number 1K0907543E. It is easily available online, e.g at Amazon and ebay and is used for lots of VAG group vehicles. Perhaps someone can find out its position from the part number and how it connects into the aircon system. Due to Covid restrictions I had minimal contact with the garage technician at the time of the repair. I got the impression that the passenger side also has a sensor so that it can work independently from the drivers side. Maybe you could check if that side has better temperature control (I did not try this on mine at the time).
