The coolant temperature sensor checks the coolant to let you know if overheating occurs. It also can send signals to the computer system to adjust the engine settings such as air/fuel mixture as needed to be more efficient based on engine temperature.

Where is the IAT Sensor located on a 1986 vw golf gti?

The mk.2 (A2) Golf GTI is not fitted with an Inlet Air Temperature sensor. 8 and 16 valve models with K-Jetronic injection (except Californian models) have no electronic sensors as the injection system is completely mechanical. 8 valve models with Digifant electronic fuel injection utilise a only vane-type air flow meter and a coolant temperature sensor to control the fuel injection duration, no other sensors required. There is an ambient air temperature sensor but this purely for the temperature function on the multi-function display (MFA). - SD

What is causing the coolant warning light to staying on and telling me to STOP when the coolant level is fine on my volkswagen golf Mk4?

Have you checked your temperature? There are two sensors one is for coolant level, and other is for temperature. First make sure your not over heating, then disconnect your coolant level sensor located on your coolant tank, and disconnect it. If light goes out, this may be your problem. Although I am not one hundred percent sure this would work as way of testing, because the circuit for level sensor may only come on when circuit is broken. This means you would have to do a jumper wire in the plug for level sensor, and see if light goes out.

It's probably when it gets low - to warn you of freezing conditions. Sounds like your coolant is low. check that the coolant level is right.


Where is 1992 Golf MK3 coolant temperature sensor?

The CTS can be found on a plastic flange at the front of the engine. There are in fact two CTS units fitted in the same plastic housing, a blue one that is connected to the ECU and a black one that connects to the temperature gauge. The blue one is the one to change when diagnosing running problems.
