I am located in Greece I have 1992-3 Golf 1.4 litr engine and I had to replace the temperature sensor/sender. The old part is number 257919501A (with yellow collar) Went to the dealer this morning and he told me that the part number was changed to 6U0 919 5018 (with blue collar) by the manufacturer ELTH. Both parts show the ELTH name on them. I have a feeling the 6U0 919 5018 is for a 1.6 ltr engn. How can I make sure? Can someone pls advise Thanx in advance.
GOLF 1992-3 temperature sensor PROBLEM

Both are exactly the same and both show the same voltage range 12V-240max. My question is (was) why do they show a different part number? Does a 1.6 ltr golf III uses the same sensor? I tried to do a search in Google of the part nubs but I get only topics in slavic (I think) languages. The ELTH site does not give details. But, from yr answer, for wich I thank you, it should work fine. BTW the car works fine again, while it wouldn't even start before. And just FYI the cost of the part (at the dealer) was 31Euros (40.00 USD)

Whether it is the coolant-temperature sensor or the oil-temp sensor is not clear... In any case coolant-temp sensor on 1.8l engine is known to be of blue color. al.
