Vemo V10-72-1442 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor for VW and Audi

The Vemo V10-72-1442 engine coolant temperature sensor is an OE-style replacement built around an NTC sensing element and a 2-pin oval connector. It is used in the engine cooling system to report coolant temperature to the vehicle control system, helping maintain accurate engine management on select Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen applications.

Searches for an Audi A3 coolant temperature sensor, Volkswagen GTI engine coolant temperature sensor, or Porsche Cayenne coolant temp sensor often point to this exact OE-reference application. The VEMO line focuses on direct-fit replacement parts for European vehicles, and this sensor follows that approach with application-specific dimensions and connector design.

Key Features

• Part number: V10-72-1442
• Engine coolant temperature sensor with NTC sensor type
• Oval connector shape with 2 poles
• Compact sensor body: 47 mm length, 20 mm width, 19 mm height
• OE-reference replacement for select Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen models
• Cross-reference example: 079 919 523 B

Detailed Description

This Vemo coolant temperature sensor is designed for vehicles that use OE reference 079919523B and related interchange numbers. It is a direct replacement for temperature monitoring in the engine cooling circuit, where the sensor sends resistance-based temperature data to the engine control system. Accurate coolant temperature input is important for fuel delivery, warm-up strategy, and cooling fan operation.

Compatible With select 2013-2017 Audi A3, A4, A6, A8 Quattro, RS7, S3, S6, S7, S8, Q5, Q7, and A7 Quattro applications; 2013-2017 Volkswagen Beetle, GTI, Jetta, Passat, and Touareg applications; and 2013-2017 Porsche Cayenne, Macan, Panamera, and 911 applications, depending on engine and OE number. Part number V10-72-1442 should be matched to the existing connector style and OE reference before ordering.

What It Helps Address

• Incorrect coolant temperature readings on the dash or scan tool
• Hard starting or rough cold operation caused by inaccurate temperature input
• Cooling fan behavior that does not match engine temperature
• Fuel mixture and idle issues related to faulty coolant temperature data
• Check engine lights tied to coolant temperature sensor faults

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the OE number, connector shape, pole count, and sensor location before installation. This sensor is listed for engine, cylinder head, and engine block locations depending on application, so confirm the original mounting point on the vehicle. For best results, compare the removed sensor to the Vemo V10-72-1442 for connector fit and physical dimensions before installation.

Quality Assurance

VEMO supplies application-specific replacement parts for European vehicles, and this sensor is built to match the listed OE-reference applications for Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen models. Confirm fitment by OE number and vehicle configuration to ensure the correct replacement.
