2016 Audi S3 Engine Cooling Parts

High-quality products that meet OE appearance and performance to provide professional technicians and DIYers with a cost-effective solution.

Product Features:

• Designed to OE standards for ease of installation
• In manufacturing, we custom form the wax pellets for different temperature range specifications. All units are calibrated & tested to confirm switch actuation at their specified temperature
• The switch is designed using a formed bimetallic contact arm. The bimetal contact movement is achieved using the different expansion rates of two metals fused together. This is a creep action device, provides precise performance
• In production, all thermal switches are factory-calibrated to make electrical contact at the specified lower-temperature set point
• Robust design and high grade materials meet the stringent demands of today’s service professional

The Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor determines the exact temperature of the engine coolant by sending an analog signal to the ECM to ensure proper air/fuel ratio along with proper operation of the cooling fans and temperature gauge. The Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor may be located on the cylinder head, engine block, thermostat housing or intake manifold. Reasons for replacement include, check engine light illumination, erratic or no temperature gauge operation, erratic or no cooling fan operation, and engine overheating.

Product Features:

• OE MATCHED: Wires and probe length match OE. Mounting clips included where applicable
• FASTER RESPONSE TIME: Thermal conductive grease inside brass housing increases sensor response time
• THE DIFFERENCE: Thread sealant/o-ring installed where applicable. Thermistor placement within the housing matches OE to ensure proper output. Proper thermal conductive grease to provide accurate temperature transfer to the thermistor
