Walker 211-2130 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor for Audi
Walker 211-2130 is a sensor-only engine coolant temperature sensor built to report cooling-system temperature data to the ECM in real time. For Audi R8 and Audi Q7 applications, accurate coolant temperature input supports fuel delivery, ignition timing, cold-start enrichment, and radiator fan control.
Walker Products Sensor Only line focuses on direct replacement sensors that match OE-style resistance values, thermal response, and signal output for factory integration.
Key Features
- Engine coolant temperature sensor for ECM temperature monitoring
- Blade terminal type with 2 terminals
- Female circular connector for factory-style connection
- Direct-fit sensor-only design; wiring harness not included
- Heat-resistant construction for constant coolant exposure and vibration
- OE-style resistance values and signal output
Detailed Description
Walker 211-2130 is engineered for vehicles that rely on precise coolant temperature feedback to manage engine operation. It helps the ECM adjust fuel injection, ignition timing, cold-start enrichment, and cooling fan operation based on live temperature data. This makes it a practical replacement for a failed coolant temp sensor on Audi R8 and Audi Q7 models where accurate temperature reporting is critical to drivability and emissions control.
This part cross-references Standard Ignition TX182 for the same application. If you are replacing a sensor on a 2010-2023 Audi R8 or a 2011-2012 Audi Q7, Walker 211-2130 provides a direct-fit, sensor-only solution designed to integrate with factory systems.
What It Helps Solve
- Check engine light related to coolant temperature signal faults
- Hard starting or rough cold starts
- Incorrect fuel mixture caused by inaccurate temperature input
- Cooling fan operation that does not match engine temperature
- Poor fuel economy or elevated emissions from faulty temperature data
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the connector shape, blade terminal count, and female connector style before installation. This sensor uses a circular connector and does not include a wiring harness. Confirm the vehicle application by year and model: Fits 2010-2012 Audi R8, N/A; Fits 2014-2015 Audi R8, N/A; Fits 2017-2018 Audi R8, N/A; Fits 2020-2023 Audi R8, N/A; Fits 2011-2012 Audi Q7, N/A, Location-Cylinder Head; Sensor Only.
Quality Assurance
Walker Products designs this Sensor Only coolant temperature sensor to match OE specifications for resistance, thermal response, and signal output, supporting reliable factory-system operation on Audi R8 and Audi Q7 applications.
