Vemo V10-72-0956 Ambient Air Temperature Sensor

Ambient Air Temperature Sensor for Volkswagen

The VEMO V10-72-0956 ambient air temperature sensor provides direct replacement coverage for select Volkswagen HVAC systems. It is built with a 2-connector design and compact dimensions for OE-style fitment in the front-end temperature sensing location used on supported applications.

Compatible with Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, Jetta, Touareg, Phaeton, and R32 applications listed below, this sensor supports accurate outside air temperature input for climate control and dashboard temperature display. The VEMO line focuses on replacement parts that match the original application requirements, and V10-72-0956 follows that approach for vehicles using OE reference 1J0919379A.

Key Features

• Ambient air temperature sensor for HVAC and outside temperature reporting
• 2-pin connector design
• Compact size: 77 mm length, 58 mm width, 40 mm height
• Lightweight construction at 0.017 kg
• Direct replacement reference for OE number 1J0919379A
• VEMO part number V10-72-0956

Detailed Description

The VEMO V10-72-0956 is an ambient air temperature sensor used by the vehicle’s HVAC and instrument systems to read outside air temperature. Accurate ambient temperature input helps the climate control system respond correctly and supports the temperature reading shown to the driver. This part number is listed for Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, Jetta, Touareg, Phaeton, and R32 models across the 1999-2010 model years, with fitment tied to OE number 1J0919379A on the supported vehicles.

VEMO V10-72-0956 is a practical replacement choice when servicing Volkswagen Beetle and Volkswagen Golf temperature-sensing faults, or when a Volkswagen Jetta ambient air temperature sensor needs OE-reference matching. It also cross-references ACI 82185 for the same application.

What It Helps Resolve

• Incorrect outside air temperature display
• HVAC temperature control issues caused by a faulty ambient sensor signal
• Temperature reading fluctuations on the instrument cluster
• Diagnostic trouble codes related to ambient air temperature input
• Replacement needs after sensor damage, corrosion, or connector wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style and OE reference before installation. This sensor uses a 2-pin plug, so confirm the vehicle harness matches the original configuration. Compare the physical dimensions and mounting location against the removed part to ensure proper seating and routing. For best results, inspect the connector terminals and nearby wiring for corrosion or damage before installing the replacement sensor.

Quality Assurance

VEMO replacement parts are cataloged for OE-reference matching and application-specific fitment. This part is listed against OE number 1J0919379A and is intended for the Volkswagen applications shown in the fitment data.
