Detailed Description

This ambient air temperature sensor is used to restore the outside-temperature signal sent to the vehicle’s HVAC and display systems. When the original sensor becomes inaccurate or fails, the system may show incorrect ambient readings or respond improperly to changing conditions. URO 8Z0820535 is engineered as an OE-style replacement for front bumper cover mounting on many Audi and Volkswagen applications, including Audi A3, A4, A6, Q5, TT, S4, S5, and Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Passat, Tiguan, Touareg, and GTI. This part cross-references VEMO V10-72-1114 for the same application.

Compatible With 2006-2014 Audi A6, mounted in front bumper cover; 2009-2014 Volkswagen CC, mounted in front bumper cover; and 2006-2014 Volkswagen GTI, mounted in front bumper cover. The part number 8Z0820535 is also listed across multiple OE and aftermarket interchange references for the same sensor application.

What It Helps Fix

• Incorrect outside temperature display
• Ambient temperature readings that fluctuate or stay fixed
• HVAC behavior affected by a failed front temperature sensor
• Warning or diagnostic issues related to ambient air temperature input
• Loss of proper temperature feedback after front-end sensor damage

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the sensor in the front bumper cover location specified for the vehicle. Verify the oval connector, 2-terminal blade layout, and clip-style mounting before installation. Because this sensor uses an OE-style plug-and-play connection, replacement is typically straightforward when the original connector and mounting point are intact. Confirm vehicle application by year, make, model, and production notes before ordering, especially on 2011 Audi A4, A4 Quattro, and S5 applications with production through 05/30/11.

Quality Assurance

URO manufactures this sensor using materials selected to withstand heat exposure and electrical demands in the front-end environment. The design is tested for reliability and long service life, and it is backed by a 24 Month Unlimited Mileage Warranty.
