A4 Temprature Gauge Sender
Hi Guys,
Dose anyone know where the engine water temp gauge sender unit is on a 1996 A4 2.6 - ABC v6 engine? I have the top engine cover off but can't see anything that looks like it, Steve. |

A4 2.6? ABC? If you meant 2.8 AFC V6, then the Engine Coolant Temp
sensor is located on the coolant line behind the cylinder head on the passenger side. It is a four pin sensor.

Sorry, still learning what's available in Europe vs. North America. I wish
the N. American market would adopt some of the ideas and technology that Europe is using. What a difference a pond makes.

Easiest to spot standing on the right side of the car. Points nearly straight upwards, with cable on top. Some diferent types of sender units has been used, colour (blue or white?)and number of cables tells which one to purchase.. regards ottar t -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ |

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to diagnose a problem on an Audi A6 1995 2.6... I hope one of you can help! Put simply, the water (and then engine) overheats if the A/C compressor is NOT switched on.... I replaced the water tempurature gauge... but it has made no difference! The radiator fan just doesn't come on unless the AC is on... Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Sam. |

Most likely you need to replace the thermoswitch located on the radiator. that
switch tells the fan when to run based upon the water temperature in the radiator. The reason the fan is running when the AC is on is because that is the normal mode for the AC operation. If the fan runs with AC then the thermoswitch is most likely the cause but it could also be due to a bad relay / relays as well.
