Hi There,

As you don't state what your overall running problem is apart from a suspect Temp switch. How did you arrive at that as being the fault?

Was VAGCOM used to determine the ECU errors.

A temp sensor problem will cause bad running especially from cold starting, and will also throw up a error code that VAGCOM can read, so the mechanic is probably referring to checking for ECU faults and can also check temp settings to determine cause of the problem so sounds on the right track. It is true that the temp sensor can throw up other faults, however your ECU may have a number of faults previously recorded that may of already been fixed, so the mechanic should clear those first and then re run your car to determine which faults are still present.

Hope that helps
