VW Golf 5 how to change coolant temperature sensor on radiator outlet 

Excellent Video. Thank You

Well done!

Well done for doing it one handed. Same process for doing the W8 front and back senders. When replacing the senders on the W8 rear which is in a steel housing cleaning out the receptacle with a piece of scotch bright then lubricating the receptacle socket and the sender o ring with some silicone grease and the job is so much easier. Also on the W8 especially if you loop a piece of string arount the clips it also makes life easy, because if you drop one at the back of the W8 good luck finding it. If you also havent run a good corosion inhibitor in the coolant good luck doing the rear one on the W8

Mine just popped out and leaked coolant but I’m glad it wasn’t something major and I fixed it easily

U should always tug at it once the retaining clip is back in just to check its seated right otherwise it will leak or pop out

Thanks! Can you please show how to replace the coolant sensor connector?

I had a temp sensor drop out today, I was getting a warning light as I was coming off the motorway and pulled into a supermarket carpark. The sensor was seated at the bottom of the radiator, just sat there resting on the under-shield, easy to find the cause of coolant leak but had to call out AA recovery. The original retaining clip was metal and had corroded. We went to VW parts, thankfully local to where I was stranded and paid about £5 for a plastic replacement retaining clip.

Your videos are great, does this allows produce a fault code? My temperature gauge sits under halfway

👍👍👍👍👍

The 2.0 turbo FSI in my Passat has a nearly identical setup for the radiator outlet coolant temperature sensor. You're lucky that you only had to replace the sensor. I've got a P2185 code that still will not clear after changing the G83 sensor. I have to troubleshoot the wiring now.

Thanks for the Video. Where are you from? Slovakia or something like that?

Last number 15-08 indicates what matters and whether it matters?

My golf 5 is fine (no overheating) or anything like that but the gauge for the engine temperature gives me false reading, what do i need to change?

what if the cold start continues after replacing a temperature switch its start after 2 attempts or more vw polo 9N?

remember and take the old seal out;)

I’ve got a problem. I changed sensor (50 euros), filled the coolant, opened it when needed so air bubbles go out, but my temo gauge still keeps dancing, it keeps pumping it from 90 to 130 degrees (which is impossible), because car is running at idle with -1 degree celsius outside. What do I need to do, so the cooling fan start working and temp gauge start working properly, without dancing

Thank you for the video. Could you please tell me exactly the model of the vcds vag? I mean the connector hardware to the OBD2 and the software?

And the 2003 vw touran is still there ?

The retaining clip has already been snapped off on the plug. Lol.

C'est pareil pour le liquide de refroidissement ?

I have golf 2005 1.9tdi this the same for it ?

Which one? There are 2 on my caddy, radiator and side of cylinder head...

Da li moze da se desi da se zbog ovog senzora kad se ugrije auto teze pali ?

Can this located in same place as Seat Altea xl 2010?

Replaced it on my Volkswagen Jetta SE 2012 and the check engine light and code are still there. Came back as P2185 “Engine Coolant Temp Sensor on Radiator Outlet (G83): Signal Too High”

Voda z motora pred vymenou sa nemusela vypustat?

My coolant just leaked out. That thing is hanging down under the front of my car.

another brilliantly engineered german machine.

What was wrong with it it
