My replacement green coolant temperature sender 4 pin vw audi pt 059 919 501 A does not fit the male electrical connector on my 2001 1.4 TDI (the existing black sensor also has a D connection, but it is smaller).
This is clearly a case where size matters.
Is there an adaptor available to connect the wiring or will I need to replace the wiring connector also?
As many folk will know, this is a common malfunction with all eary vw/audis the temperature guage gives random readings 0-90 degrees, in contrast to the proper gauge reading that sits rock steady on 90C once warmed up. The replacement green part 059 919 501 A is an improved version recommended by vw/audi. My original part has 269415 06-01 on it and my Audi dealership confirm that 059 919 501 A is the correct replacement, but have no knowledge of how to overcome the wiring incompatibility. They will take it into their workshop to investigate but their part is £30 and the same part from ebay was £10 and I don't want to pay their labour, particularly as they don't seem to sure what they are doing.
Grateful for any advice
Pete
