Give your dash temperature gauge the coolant temperature signal it needs with the Beck/Arnley Engine Coolant Temperature Switch / Sender, part number 201-1098. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1980-1992 Volkswagen Jetta, 1990-1992 Volkswagen Passat and 1985-1992 Volkswagen Golf, plus other Volkswagen, Audi and Volvo models. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
Beck/Arnley catalogs this part as a temperature sender switch for use with a gauge, so it is listed under both names. It sends water temperature information to the instrument gauge on the dash so the driver can monitor engine temperature. Beck/Arnley designs it as a direct replacement for OE applications, with close attention to form, fit and function.
- OE match: Matches the original part's form, fit and function.
- Application-specific calibration: Made to the exact resistance and temperature specifications for each application.
- Quality build: Made with high-quality material and componentry, and constructed to withstand the engine environment.
- Gauge signal: Provides water temperature information to the dash instrument gauge.
A temperature sender may need replacing if the gauge stays at cold, reads unusually high or swings erratically. Wiring, the gauge itself or the cooling system can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If the sender is at fault, this part replaces it. Beck/Arnley works with a global sourcing network to supply parts that meet its own requirements and specifications.
