Delphi TS10245 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor for Volkswagen

Delphi TS10245 is an engine coolant temperature sensor built for accurate coolant temperature reporting in select Volkswagen applications. It uses a 4-terminal blade-style connection with a square, male connector and push-on mounting for a direct-fit replacement approach.

With OE heritage built into the design, this Delphi coolant temperature sensor supports reliable signal transfer to the engine management system. It is a practical replacement for Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, and Cabrio models where the original sensor has become inaccurate or failed.

Detailed Description

Delphi TS10245 is an OE-style engine coolant temperature sensor for Volkswagen cooling-system repair. It is engineered to provide the engine control system with coolant temperature input used for fuel delivery, idle strategy, and temperature-related engine operation. This sensor is a direct replacement choice for 1993-1999 Volkswagen Jetta, 1993-1998 Volkswagen Golf, 1997-1999 Volkswagen Cabrio, plus 1997 and 1999 Volkswagen Jetta and 1999-2000 Volkswagen Golf applications with the noted black/yellow-band configuration. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 158-0740 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Incorrect coolant temperature readings
• Hard starting when the engine is cold
• Rough idle related to temperature signal errors
• Illuminated engine warning light from sensor faults
• Poor fuel control caused by inaccurate coolant data

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and the black/yellow-band application note before installation. Inspect the connector and wiring for corrosion or damage, and confirm the cooling system is at a safe temperature before removing the old sensor. The included clip and instruction sheet support the replacement process, and the sensor installs with a push-on mounting design.

Quality Assurance

Delphi draws on more than a century of OE experience and supplier knowledge used by major automakers. That OE background is reflected in the design and material selection of TS10245 for dependable aftermarket service.
