Hello,

I have a 2002 fabia 1.9TD estate, I need to replace the coolant temp sensor. The engine code is 6Y5.

I have been advised not to buy a cheap copy, as they can be troublesome, however I hear that Febi Belstein are quite good.

The part number for this is 29318, they are a german manufacture, however I read somewhere that there is an upgraded sensor that is green.

When researching this, they seem to have 4 ports, not 2 as the grey one has, does anyone know of this upgrade?

 

Many thanks

Hey Sean, that's not the engine code. The engine code is three letters.  You're definitely better off buying a genuine Skoda temp sensor.

 

I bought mine off Darkside

Thanks for sending this, but that is a four pin and Im sure mine is 2 pin.

Do you know who makes the darkside sensor?

I had heard that the genuine sensor was the best, but I think Skoda do a green sensor now which is not to be so problematic?

Trouble is your car is not wired for the four-pin sensor so you should get the grey two-pin. End of.

What I was meaning is there a upgraded 2 pin available.

Nope, just buy genuine.
