Diesel pump fuel temp fault

Featured Replies

HI,

Ive got a 2005 Octavia 1.9tdi (NON PD)

It lacking a bit of power and the EM light is on.

VAG-COM indicated a "17571/P1163 Fuel Temp Sensor (G81): Open or Short to Plus"

Temperature was reading -5.7C constantly.

Reading around, I am pretty sure i can fit a 1K resistor in place of the sensor (for now).

However i am unsure which wires are connected to the temp sensor on the pump loom.

There is a 10 way connector for the pump which i hope i can break into and fit the resistor.

I think its pin 5 and 6 on the connector, can anyone confirm?
