So scanned car and showed

00290- ABS wheel sensor,

00597 - impulses deviation,

17664 - g62 engine coolant sensor,

P1256 - intermittant,

 

Checked fuse box top of battery all OK,  checked control plug on alternator, checked 2 joints under starter motor, All OK so ordered a replacement sensor for rear nearside ABS, now the water temp sensor on right hand side near battery,without actually pulling it out does anybody know the part number and a cheap place to buy one ? Cheers Stuart

 

All mk1 Fabias use the same engine coolant temperature sensor, part number  06A 919 501A.

 

Have you checked for broken wiring, or dirty contacts in the loom connector?

 

Non-genuine can be had very cheap, but have mixed reviews.

(Claimed) Genuine one here including o-ring and clip for just over £20 which seems good value, especially if it isn't 'fake genuine'.  RRP from Skoda considerably more.

Hi Wino, thanks for the reply with the number, I've seen one of your replys about the 2 joints underneath and found ours was under the starter motor,both connectors looked fine so I've ordered a wheel sensor after removing the disc and pads and cleaning ring and sensor, and after clearing DTCs it came on again ! Is the water temp sensor just for the indicator dial on the dash display or does the ECU use the info ? Cheers Stuart

The temperature sensor is read by the engine ECU, which then forwards the data by CAN messages to any other modules which care; the instrument cluster, obviously, but probably others.

Does the gauge sit solidly at 90/vertical once the engine is up to full operating temperature?

 

Must admit I didn't notice when I drove it yesterday it's only because vcds flagged it up a couple of times, just ordered one so will wait for the postman. thanks for your help one again. Where do you get the part numbers from ?
