Hi all, just an update on this Golf, after more testing at the ECU and re-wire the ETC sensor up to the ECU the fault returns. At the time of the fault there is no 5v feed to the ETC sensor and on live date reeds 90c but the engine is cold so it must have a fault on the ECU. The reason the temp gauge dropping is the radiator fans running and the map thermostat is been opened (thank for that Dave). I don’t think the customer will have the car repaired they will trade it in so if you get a 2000 silver Golf auto in with an ETC sensor fault it will need a ECU repair I’ve done the leg work Thanks for your help with this one, Martin.
