The temperature switch on a Golf 3 engine is typically located near the thermostat housing. It is usually positioned on the cylinder head or engine block, depending on the specific engine variant. This switch monitors the engine coolant temperature and sends signals to the engine management system for optimal performance. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for precise location details.

On a 2003 Volkswagen Golf, the engine temperature sensor, also known as the coolant temperature sensor, is typically located near the thermostat housing. It is usually positioned in the engine block or cylinder head, often on the side or front of the engine. To access it, you may need to remove some components or covers, depending on the specific engine configuration. Always refer to a repair manual for precise location and removal instructions.
