|
|
I have a 1990 2.1 Vanagon and the wiring was all scrambled up to my Temp I and Temp II sensors and there are a bunch of stray wires dangling around
I have no clue where to begin on which goes where and which wire connects to each sensor but from reading around the forums I found that fixing these two sensors is pretty pivotal to getting this van running regular

You sound like a person in need of a Bentley manual. It has the wiring information you seek. _________________ Marius Strom Otto: 1988 Vanagon Syncro Westy Camper

You are likely confusing your TSII sensor with the sender for your temperature gauge. The TSI sensor is hid in your AFM and pretty hard to have wired wrong. |

oh i have a bentley manual but can't seem to find the right pictures of the right angles
I believe I do have that wrong then Mariusstrom, since their both broken and my gauge is always blinking. those two sensors for temp gauge then, the wiring for the one on the bottom of the engine seems to be lost amongst my engine compartment
happen to have pictures of yours? _________________ 1990 Vanagon Transporter 2.1L [the fridge] - Daily Driver for College Commuting

The temperature sensors for the FI and the gauge are on the thermostat housing. The sender located underneath the engine is one of the two oil pressure switches. The harness for the oil pressure switches was something VW should have been ashamed up. Sellers have been known to remove the wire going to the low pressure switch to get the oil pressure warning light to go off at idle, not good at all.
Page 19.11 of the Bentley shows the two sensors on the thermostat housing, unfortunately they screwed up the labeling. One is labeled as the sensor for both the FI and the gauge, obviously an error. |

word? my lower one for the gauge was burnt off at the exhaust, it had a brown/white wire. I just want that GD light to go off. The one for the front of the engine has a red wire and that one is all set.
I'll check out that page, thanks!
Still checking around for someone with some pics of their wiring to the lower temp gauge sender though. _________________ 1990 Vanagon Transporter 2.1L [the fridge] - Daily Driver for College Commuting
