Guest, 🎅🎄Looking for a stocking filler idea? Why not treat yourself or a loved one to our high quality CUPRA or SEAT valve caps. Order now from the merchandise store
My liquid gauge shows 90 deg and the dash is at at 90 deg.
Also you can use the climate control to measure the coolant temp, and that is at 90 deg.

Not being pedantic as I really don't know but what temp sender does the liquid/dash gauge use to get temp info?
Also how do you get the temp up on the dash????

The sender is split into two one side goes to the ECU for fuelling, the other is the dash.
The liquid gauge gets it's info from the OBD port.
As for the climate control

Unless you can be 100% sure it is oem then it isn't worth it, as the ecu bases parameters on the info from that sensor and the liquid/dash gauge readings do not indicate it is working efficiently, only that it is giving you a signal.
At the end of the day it is only £15ish more expensive

How can you be 100% sure the Seat one is any better tho? after all they sent out a few thousand cars with dodgy sensors hence why the green ones came about.
I very much doubt they make them, they will get them made up and just rebox them.....there prob the excat same thing in my opinion. [A bit like gates timing belts!]
Mine turned up this morning and it looks very well made, I would glady compair it to a £30 one if someone has one
i think what he is saying is that from what youve said the only place anything reading coolant temp gets its info from is the coolant sensor you are discussing. If it is faulty then all the readings will be wrong, regardless of where you get them from, as they are all getting dodgy info from a faulty coolant sensor. therefore, if a non oem sensor is a bit duff, theres nothing to compare it against cos the climate control, liquid gauge, anything attached to OBD port etc all base their readings on information from the same sensor.
think thats what he means

Spot on and guess what vag com reads
Just because your vagcom, liquid and dash all read the same doesn't mean the sensor is working efficiently all it means is the sensor is sending the same signal to all.
Believe me, if the sensor was faulty/inferior it wouldn't be sitting at 90 deg.
I had a faulty sensor so no the faults
It is not really about it being a straight forward fault, the sensor sends info to ecu and if it doesn't send the correct info to the ecu it can affect your performance and in some engines the worse case scenario being reduced lifespan.
You mean it sends the coolant temp info to the ECU? and it could reduce engine lifespan how excatly?
Its a temp sensor if it read incorrectly it would be faulty....same as a OEM one would do if it was faulty?
If OEM ones were so great there wouldn't be so many threads on this forum with people having problems with them.
Just my opinion
