Outside temp sensor loom query

[Error404]

got all the bits to install this into my CQ, i've already got the dash connector just missing the +ve feed.

Was having a poke about behind the n/s headlight and found a redundant 2 pin plug behind there that is part of the wrapped loom for the washer pump etc.

Can anyone with an early car tell me if this looks likely to be the temp sensor loom?

[Acidburn]

can you post up a picture and i'll check it with the loom i've got sitting at home.

[Error404]

yer ok mate, will do when i get home a bit later

i thought i'd ask as the sensor i got off Vagparts has an injector type electrical connector, this one on the loom behind the headlight is one of those round ones with locking tabs, like on the loom for the aux gauges if that rings any bells?

I'll post a pic later anyway

Heres the funker:

there is a king of blanking connector on the end


Same part of the loom as the feed to the washer pump

Bump - can anyone tell me what this plug is?

[Jas11n]

It'll have a part number on it, post it up

[Error404]

no worres, can do that Jase

Will that not just be the part number of the connector though?
I've seen loads of these dotted about the car on various looms - or will the FA tell you where they are used?

Yes, to a certain extent. From it's location and part number you "should" be able to narrow down the possibilities.

If I don't answer it's cos I'm off out to work in 30 mins, if no one else has sourced it by the time I get in tonight, I'll have a look then

no worries mate i'm away with work until tomorrow anyway

Probably for Autocheck cars - would connect to the washer pump motor with level gauge - to tell you when you are running low.

Doesn't look like the ambient temp probe connector.

[Error404]

hmm.. well i have autocheck and my washer level warning works just fine

I'll get the part number off in a bit...

I think the sensor plug is always a flat 2 pin connector. My 3B didnt have one so spade connectors were used instead - one wire goes to ground and the other around the engine bay and through the bulkhead to the yellow ATD plug wiring (also missing on mine) that splices into the clock binnacle loom.
