Default HELP: Coolant Temp Sensor - Blue & Green ones at VW dealer have 4 pins , but mine has two pins !

So what is it? none of the two types matches mine.

The parts advisor even walked to my car and didn't recognize the connector on the wire! Is it some special type that Audi only used on early TTs? Anyone experienced this?

Green was $5 and Blue was $24, sheeesh!

Default I don't think it was as common...>

as the later black 4 pin ones. When they get wonky though you get weird symptoms so it's probably worth the upgrade just for piece of mind...

I think you need the one that's on the 2002 A4s and up, it's quite expensive $44-$54..

The two-pin connectors are cheap.
