Beck/Arnley Engine Coolant Temperature Switch P/N:201-0916
Get an accurate reading back on your dashboard with the Beck/Arnley Engine Coolant Temperature Switch 201-1098 — a direct-fit Golf switch replacement that provides water temperature information to the dash instrument gauge. It drops in across a wide range of European applications, including the 1985-1992 Volkswagen Golf, 1980-1992 Volkswagen Jetta, and 1990-1992 Volkswagen Passat; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
This switch signals the dashboard temperature gauge based on engine coolant temperature. Signs it may need replacing include a temperature gauge that reads erratically, sticks, or stops responding. If a failed temperature switch is the cause, this unit replaces it — diagnose the circuit first, since a faulty gauge or wiring can produce the same symptoms. Whether you're servicing a Jetta switch or a Passat switch, order the 201-1098 that matches your vehicle in the Buyer's Guide.
