Walker 211-2170 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

Walker 211-2170 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

Walker 211-2170 is a sensor-only engine coolant temperature sensor built to deliver real-time coolant temperature data to the ECM. For 1997 Volkswagen EuroVan applications, it supports accurate control of fuel injection, ignition timing, cold start enrichment, and cooling fan operation.

The Sensor Only line from Walker focuses on direct replacement sensors engineered for factory-style signal output and resistance values. This helps maintain consistent communication with the vehicle’s engine management system on the Volkswagen EuroVan.

Key Features

• Engine coolant temperature sensor for ECM temperature input
• Direct-fit replacement for 1997 Volkswagen EuroVan, N/A
• Pin terminal type with 2 terminals
• Rectangle female connector
• Sensor only design with no wiring harness included
• Built with heat-resistant materials for coolant system exposure
• OE-style resistance values, thermal response, and signal output

Detailed Description

Walker Products 211-2170 is an engine coolant temperature sensor that reports coolant temperature to the ECM so the engine can adjust fueling, timing, cold-start strategy, and fan control. This part is engineered for factory-system integration and is a direct replacement for 1997 Volkswagen EuroVan, N/A service needs. If you are diagnosing a check engine light or replacing a failed coolant temp sensor on a Volkswagen EuroVan, 211-2170 provides the correct sensor-only format for the application.

This part cross-references Dorman - HELP 35635 and Facet 7.4133 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Incorrect coolant temperature readings sent to the ECM
• Hard starting during cold engine operation
• Rich or lean fuel mixture concerns
• Cooling fan control issues tied to temperature input
• Check engine light conditions related to coolant temperature sensor faults

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector shape, terminal count, and pin-style electrical connection before installation. This Walker 211-2170 sensor uses a rectangle female connector and does not include a wiring harness. Confirm the vehicle’s original sensor style and inspect the cooling system connector for corrosion or damage before fitting the replacement.

Quality Assurance

Walker Products engineers this coolant temperature sensor to match OE specifications for resistance, thermal response, and signal output. The durable construction is designed for continuous exposure to coolant, vibration, and temperature swings in normal engine operation.
