Walker 210-1170 Air Charge Temperature Sensor

Walker Air Charge Temperature Sensor 210-1170

The Walker Products Air Charge Temperature Sensor monitors incoming air temperature so the engine computer can adjust fuel delivery with greater precision. This Sensor Only replacement is built for vehicles that rely on accurate intake air temperature data for performance, fuel control, cold-start behavior, and emissions management.

Compatible With 1995 Volkswagen EuroVan and 1996-1997 Volkswagen Passat applications that use a sensor-only setup, Walker 210-1170 supports direct replacement needs where the original air charge temperature sensor has failed or drifted out of specification.

Key Features

• Air charge temperature sensor for engine management systems
• Measures intake air temperature through resistance changes
• 1 female oblong connector
• 2 male spade terminals
• Sensor Only configuration for targeted replacement
• Walker 210-1170 for Volkswagen Passat and Volkswagen EuroVan fitment

How It Works

This sensor sends temperature data to the vehicle’s onboard computer so fuel delivery can be adjusted based on incoming air conditions. Accurate air temperature input helps the engine manage combustion, cold starts, drivability, and emissions control. Walker 210-1170 is a practical replacement for 1996-1997 Volkswagen Passat and 1995 Volkswagen EuroVan models listed with this sensor configuration.

Common Problems It May Address

• Hard starting in cold weather
• Incorrect fuel mixture from inaccurate air temperature readings
• Reduced engine response caused by faulty sensor input
• Higher emissions from poor air/fuel calculation
• Check engine light related to intake air temperature signal faults

Installation Notes

Verify connector shape, terminal type, and terminal count before installation. This part uses a female oblong connector with two male spade terminals, so the vehicle harness must match the listed configuration. Confirm fitment for your specific Volkswagen Passat or Volkswagen EuroVan by year and sensor style before replacing the original unit.

Quality Assurance

Walker Products supplies engine management components with a focus on accurate signal delivery and OE-style replacement fitment. Part number 210-1170 is built for the listed Volkswagen applications and the Sensor Only product line.
