Product Line Details

Bosch Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (New) parts are built as replacement sensors for vehicles that rely on precise coolant temperature data for fuel control, idle quality, and cooling system operation. Bosch 0280130037 follows that OE-style approach for BMW and Volkswagen fitments.

Detailed Description

This Bosch engine coolant temperature sensor is used to report coolant temperature to the vehicle’s control system so the engine can manage fueling, warm-up strategy, and cooling fan operation. It is listed for Fits 1994-1995 BMW 530i, N/A; Fits 1994-1995 BMW 540i, N/A; Fits 1993-1995 BMW 740i, N/A; Fits 1993-1995 BMW 740iL, N/A; Fits 1994-1995 BMW 840Ci, N/A; Fits 1988-1994 BMW 750iL, N/A; and Fits 1985-1987 Volkswagen Quantum, N/A. This part cross-references URO 12621288158 for the same application.

Common Issues This Sensor Can Address

  • Incorrect coolant temperature readings on the dash or scan data
  • Hard starting or rough running during cold engine operation
  • Rich or lean fuel mixture caused by inaccurate temperature input
  • Cooling fan or warm-up control concerns tied to sensor signal errors
  • Check engine light conditions related to coolant temperature circuit faults

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style and thread/port location against the original sensor before installation. Inspect the cooling system for leaks, corrosion, or damaged wiring that could affect sensor performance. After installation, clear fault codes if present and confirm the engine reaches normal operating temperature.

Quality Assurance

Bosch manufactures this sensor to support precise measurement, quick response, and durable operation in demanding engine cooling system environments.
