DeanH Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 What happens if you start the car with in unplugged and then plug it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyEunos Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 This isn't helpful in any way, but I'm intrigued as to how you came to discover it would start without the temp sensor in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupo 1.7sdi Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 To diagnose the sensor, check in vag com, Measuring blocks, Group 007 which value indicates the temperature of the coolant. Checking is done in the morning without starting the engine with the contact only. All temperatures in this group should be almost the same. If everything is ok here, then the problem can be the timming. To determine if it is ok, check the second field in Basic Settings (BS), Group 000 (attention Basic settings not Measuring Blocks, are not the same). Read this and for complete the diagnose put some print screen with MB, Group 001, 004, 013 and BS, Group 000, all with cooling fluid over 80 degrees Celsius.
