Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Overview

Walker 211-2041 is an engine coolant temperature sensor built to deliver accurate temperature data to the ECM. It supports proper fuel delivery, ignition timing, cold start enrichment, and fan operation for vehicles that rely on precise coolant readings.

This direct-fit sensor is engineered to match OE resistance values, thermal response, and signal output. The design uses heat-resistant materials for exposure to coolant, vibration, and repeated temperature changes.

Key Features

  • Direct-fit engine coolant temperature sensor for factory-style replacement
  • OE-matched resistance values, thermal response, and signal output
  • Heat-resistant construction for coolant and vibration exposure
  • 2-terminal blade design with a female circular connector
  • Sensor-only configuration for engine cooling system service

Detailed Application Notes

Compatible with select Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, Volkswagen Jetta, Audi A3 Sportback e-tron, and Audi A8 Quattro applications. Fits 2019-2021 Volkswagen Golf, N/A; Fits 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, N/A; Fits 2016-2018 Audi A3 Sportback e-tron, N/A; Fits 2017-2018 Volkswagen Jetta, N/A; Fits 2015-2016 Audi A8 Quattro, N/A; Fits 2013-2016 Volkswagen Jetta, N/A; Fits 2012-2014 Audi A8 Quattro, N/A. Part number 211-2041 is also cross-referenced to Standard Ignition TX274 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Incorrect coolant temperature readings sent to the ECM
  • Hard cold starts caused by inaccurate temperature input
  • Poor fuel control and ignition timing response
  • Cooling fan operation issues tied to sensor signal errors
  • Check engine light conditions related to coolant temperature faults
