Yes that says it measures coolant temp and sends signal to the ECU, thats what I just said.
I fail to see how using a non OEM temp sensor will reduce the life span of my engine
If a OEM one is faulty then its faulty......if a non OEM one is faulty then its no different.

Yes a faulty sensor can cause over fuelling, bad starting from hot and cold too.
The sensor as two sides to it, i have no idea which is which.
I know the dash gauge shoots up far quicker than the other readings.

A faulty sensor can give you problems, but also a sensor not operating/designed within the correct parameters can give you these problems.
The problems I have outlined are blatant in your face problems, to maybe make a point.
But let us say your ebay temp sender doesn't send an accurate signal when it overheats, the ecu reacts too late and then there is engine damage, the initial saving on the initial purchase price is then irrelelvant. Let us say it takes one more minute to show the engine being fully warmed up, this means it will less fuel efficient and you will easily lose the money saved by bad fuel economy.
VW had a problem with their original installation, they acknowledged that and offered a superior product that has to meet manufacturing spec to work with their engines and be quality assured, you really don't know that about your ebay product.
There are many things I would buy from ebay or as a patent part, but a temp sender isn't one of them.

Its not the ebay ones people are having problems with tho its the Original ones from Seat.
No one is saying they have had problems with the green one, in fact people are saying there good and work well.
If a sensor is faulty its faulty weather its OEM or not.
I think were all going to have to agree to disagree on this one

The ebay sender is probably sold by every motor factors up and down the country.
Your happy to not use one, me and others will be.
Mine is operating as a genuine should be.

Wow guys......
But to throw a spanner in the works , I dont think that VAG make their own sensors
So I wonder who does :rubchin:
Then if the manufacturer sells them....I am sure the quality will be the same?

Adam not sure if you are aware the upgraded item from seat is the green one, that replaces the original oem faulty one.
You should be aware that the sensor package, wherever you get it from and whatever its colour, has two completely separate sensors contained in it. One feeds the ECU, from where the Climatronic unit gets its signal, and the other goes directly to the dash gauge.
My guess is that the dash gauge needs a different type of sensor, as it is an analog meter.
The ECU converts the reading from its sensor into a digital signal, which is passed over the data bus to things like the Climatronic unit.
This means that the dash gauge is just a tell-tale, giving you a warning of fault conditions, and that failure of the dash gauge or its feed does not mean that the engine is getting bad data.

The dash is off the CTS too, all electronic after all (cured my dash gauge problem too)
So the ECU sends the info to the Climate control, Thanks

Yes, but I think you missed my point:
One component, the coolant temperature sensor.
Two completely separate sensor elements within that component.
One electrical connector with four blades, two per sensor.
So the dash gauge can fail without any effect on the ECU signal.
I'm not sure the dash gauge is electronic, it may be simply electrical, a voltmeter measuring the voltage drop across the sensor with no ananlog-to-digital conversion. Sensors are always analog, and the dash dial is analog as well.
