    NO - it only sends temp info to the instrument cluster.

    The ECU has its own water temp sensor (G62) at rear of engine. Check s2central or sjmautotechnik - I can't remember if its NTC or PTC.

    If resistance is high at cold temps (with an NTC device) then the ECU will think the engine is cold if G62 fails open circuit... However, I'm pretty sure the ECU is smart enough to (a) detect o/c on the sensor and raise a fault and (b) use air temp and run time to create a substitute/estimated value for water temp if G62 fails. This true for ABY... Dunno for sure if 3B is that smart - would need to hit the books.

      thanks so you are saying that, my old 3B may not be smart enough to calculate a middle way. And therefore would poore fuel in??
