Temperature Sender Replacement Empty Temperature Sender Replacement

WARNING: Before beginning this procedure, ensure you allow your
engine to completely cool down. The system is pressured and if you
remove your temperature sender while it is still hot, coolant will
spray out and potentially cause severe burns. This mod was performed on
a 2001 Volkswagen Jetta. I cannot gaurantee this will work on your
vehicle. Work at your own risk.
Installation times will vary upon the installer's experience. It took me about 15 minutes to complete this job.



Description of error detected with a VAG-COM:
The following fault code was causing my CEL to come on. I would clear
the code using my VAG-COM but it would come back within a short period
of time.

17704 – Error in Mapped Cooling System (usually temp sensor or thermostat)
P1296 – 35-00 - -
