Global Parts 1712622 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor for Select Audi and Volkswagen Models

Global Parts 1712622 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 systems, it can directly shut the compressor off to help prevent damage. This part number 1712622 is built for select Audi A8, Audi A8 Quattro, Volkswagen Cabrio, and Volkswagen EuroVan applications.

Key Features

• Engine coolant temperature sensor for temperature signal feedback
• Supports ECM-controlled A/C operation on modern vehicles
• Used in earlier systems to help prevent compressor failure
• M14 x 1.5 thread with 2-terminal design
• Square connector application noted for 2000-2002 Volkswagen Cabrio
• Cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 280130098, SU4335) for the same application

Detailed Description

Global Parts 1712622 is a direct-fit engine coolant temperature sensor for select 1997-1999 Audi A8, 1997-1999 Audi A8 Quattro, 1997 Volkswagen EuroVan, and 2000-2002 Volkswagen Cabrio models. The sensor provides the engine control system with coolant temperature feedback so the vehicle can manage cooling-related functions and A/C compressor operation based on system demand. If you are searching for an Audi A8 coolant temp sensor, Audi A8 Quattro coolant temperature sensor, or a Volkswagen Cabrio engine coolant temperature sensor, this part number 1712622 matches the listed applications.
