UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Turns out you guys were bang on the mark! VAG-COM cable arrived so I hooked up and tuned in and viola: fault 16500...coolant temperature sensor (G62) implausible signal! Just like you said it would be! So I'll holler at my dealership and ask them nicely to sort me out with a fresh sensor...BTW, any progress on that sensor replacement walkthrough?...

VAG-COM also told me I have faults 17978 and 18006, and I havent got a clue what they are!

AND when I select 'readiness', Oxygen sensor, Secondary air injection and Catalytic converter all read 'Failed or incomplete'...that can't be right, can it?

These thing make me worry...

Please UK-POLOS.NET, do your thang!

jx!

ps just got some new raybans, might stick in a bora sunglasses holder...

Some of the codes can be very old and the problem may be already fixed. Best thing is to clear all of them and if the problem appears again test with vagcom and go from there.

I did have the guide to re-place it but its dissapeard again.

its pretty straight forward, just make sure you engine is cold before you try and remove the green sensor or you will have burning hot coolant everywhere, if i was you would order the horse shoe shaped clip for it as well as its extremely temprmental coz if you break it your snookerd
