hi all,

gonna try and change my CTS at the weekend in the vain hope it might improve my cold start jumpiness...

Part number i have is: 059-919-501A (green) ive been quoted 24 euros + vat for it froma local vw dealer...

I just wanna check that its a universal VAG part that should work on the vRS?

Cheers

Fergal

thats the very same i changed on mine,just above the gear selector,the one i removed had an orange connector(iirc) replacement has green.has improved the cold start problem,but not resolved it completely.and by cold i mean winter cold starts,its pretty much ok during the rest of the year.

Yes that is the one.

4 pin Green I have just double checked on ETKA
