Volkswagen sensors

Post by Gtiguy123 »

Hey everybody,
I see that quite a few people have Megasquirted VW engines. By any chance did anyone use 2.0 ABA sensors? If so would you happen to have the temp\resistance pairs?

Thanks,

Check the factory service manual. They usually publish specs for these type of sensors. Failing that, test the sensors at room temp, boiling water, and ice water. That'll give you some very accurate numbers, as they'll be specific to your sensor.
