Hi all .

Just bought my silver 51 pate vrs and i love it , Had it remapped by John DNA tuning in stratford which has made a lot of diference .

I have read through loads of posts about the coolent tempreture sensor, as mine intermitently works but i cant find out where it is located on the engine , so please point me in the right direction ,also is it an easy job to replace.

I have heard a lot of talk about buying crap ones off ebay I bought my green one from there from Germanautspares are they angy good , great site keep up the good work

Hi there welcome to the site and your new purchase(silver best colour)

The temp sensor is a very easy job and is held in with a circlip. You unplug the sensor, pull the circlip out with a pair of pliers, slot the new one in place fit circlip and replug sensor. Job done. Less than 5 min.

The green sensors are the genuine skoda part and the ones to get. They replace the older black sensor ones.
