Replace a worn coolant temperature sensing switch with the Beck/Arnley Engine Coolant Temperature Switch 201-1757, also called a water temperature switch, which opens or closes an electrical circuit in response to engine coolant temperature. It fits many Volkswagen and Audi models, among them the 1999 Volkswagen Jetta, 1998-1999 Volkswagen Passat and 1999-2002 Volkswagen Golf. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Beck/Arnley designs its parts as direct replacements for OE applications on foreign nameplates, with close attention to form, fit and function. Its product specialists work with a trusted global sourcing network, and each part is held to Beck/Arnley's own requirements and specifications.
Signs this switch may need replacing include temperature-related warnings, gauge readings or fan operation that act erratically, depending on the circuit the switch serves, or coolant seeping from around the switch. Wiring and other cooling-system parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. If the original switch is at fault, 201-1757 replaces it. Let the engine cool fully before opening the cooling system, and follow the vehicle service information for installation.
