Global Parts 1712462 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor for Audi and Volkswagen

Global Parts 1712462 is an engine coolant temperature sensor that sends temperature feedback to the engine management system. On modern vehicles, that signal helps the ECM manage A/C operation; on earlier applications, it can directly shut the compressor off to help prevent compressor damage. This part is a direct-fit style replacement for select Audi and Volkswagen models with a square connector.

Key Features

• Engine coolant temperature sensor for accurate coolant temperature reporting
• Supports ECM input used for engine and A/C system control
• Square connector application for listed fitments
• Cross-references Four Seasons 37835 for the same application
• Global Parts part number 1712462

Detailed Description

Global Parts 1712462 is built for vehicles that rely on coolant temperature feedback to manage engine operation and air conditioning logic. In Audi A6, Audi A6 Quattro, Audi A4, Audi A4 Quattro, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Beetle, and Volkswagen Jetta applications, the sensor provides the temperature signal the control system uses to make operating decisions. If you are replacing a faulty Audi A6 coolant temp sensor or a Volkswagen Golf engine coolant temperature sensor with a square connector, this part matches the listed applications.

What It Helps Address

• Incorrect coolant temperature readings
• Intermittent or inoperative A/C compressor control
• Engine management faults related to temperature input
• Cooling system warning concerns tied to sensor signal loss
• Driveability issues caused by inaccurate temperature feedback

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style before installation; the listed applications use a square connector. Confirm the year, make, and model against the fitment data for your Audi or Volkswagen vehicle, and inspect the connector and wiring for corrosion or damage before replacing the sensor. Global Parts 1712462 should be installed on the exact listed applications only.

Quality Assurance

This sensor is manufactured as a replacement part for the listed Audi and Volkswagen applications and is intended to restore proper coolant temperature signal input to the control system. Part number 1712462 is also referenced by Four Seasons 37835 for the same application.
