error codes from vagcom..

[Benny]

Hey guys. did a vag com scan last night and its come up with:

00944 - Heated Exterior Mirror: Passenger Side (Z5)
35-00 - -
01039 - Coolant Temperature Sensor (G2)
30-10 - Open or Short to B+ - Intermittent

Didnt even know it had heated mirrors?

But the coolant temp sensor.. what does it mean and where is it lol?

Ive got a 1.6 8v SE

Any replacement part codes etc would be helpful

Thanks

Coolant temp sensor is faulty, its in the engine block somewhere but I am afraid I haven't seen an 8V engine so I'm not sure where exactly. They aren't that expensive and are common to go wrong.

This guide might help but it is for a 1.8T so won't be exactly the same:

As for heated mirrors..... They work with the heated rear windscreen mate!

Hope this helps mate,

will it be same part codes even though its a different engine? I will have a look tonight/weekend and see if i can find it.

Heated mirror.. what does the error codes mean?

Thanks for your help

Sorry, forgot about that!!

You need to check the conections mate, that fault code means there isn't a supply to the heater. You might be able to take it apart and see, hopefully you won't need to buy a new one!!!!

I think, in terms of the Temp Sensor, the dealers are just as good as its a cheap part and a known problem so they will be able to find the part on there system.

I don't know if the part numbers are the same. I would be supprised if they are different but don't know for sure.

ok i will try have a look tonight my local dealer is a nightmare. Its a seat / mazda garage and they are useless so hopefully i will be able to pull it apart n stuff. Thanks for tips

Ok so i think i have found it? Either way i managed to get it out and gave it a good clean (it also gave me a clean when it gushed water out) and its still coming up in vag com so looks like a new sensors on my way

sorry for image quality, was taken on my phone lol

as for the heated mirror, my passenger side is deffinatly duffed.. there goes this years bonus

don't know if that was sarcastic or not but just switch on your rear window heater and they come on

Glad you found it mate. They aren'y really servicable to be honest and the error code "open or short" means its electrical and there is a short circuit in the sensor. New ones aren't that expensive I don't think.

As for the mirror.... There might be one or both on ebay to swap. Perhaps even the facelift ones??

Good luck!

cheers longman Il have a look around on ebay at lunch and ring seat and see how much the temp sensor is. Thanks for your help

 

[Benny]

just to update, replace the temp sensor and replaced all the coolant liquid, and just from testing it today the lumpy idle has gone! Will clear codes with vag com in the morning and continue to monitor. However thanks for all your help

 

[longman]

Good news mate! Glad to here its sorted.

Reviving this thread as I've got the same fault code (and a car that I could swear the mpg has dropped off, stutters at low revs in 1st and 2nd esp after startup, and idles high after startup).

Going to change the sensor as the guide looks like its not too hard - bit concerned of spouting coolant everywhere - if the car is properly cold (overnight) will the coolant stay where its supposed to?

Also can I check that the part numbers are valid for a 2002 1.8T Cupra (180bhp):

Temperature Sender (Green) Part#: 059-919-501A - £28.45
O-Ring Part#: N90316802: £1.05
Retaining Clip Part#: 032-121-142: £0.45

(Prices from local VW garage.)

EDIT// Bought these parts - was dead easy to change and took about 3 mins following the guide. Left the car to cool overnight and left the coolant cap on as it holds the vacuum so should help in it not leaking out. 01039 Error code now gone! Cheers to thread contributors!
