TYPICAL CAUSES OF CTS FAILURE IN YOUR VOLKSWAGEN
Volkswagens are very popular for their affordability while still being high-quality, reliable vehicles.
One issue that does come up is failure of the coolant temperature sensor.
Here are the details about the coolant temperature sensor failure in your Volkswagen.
HOW DOES THE COOLANT SYSTEM WORK IN YOUR VEHICLE?
To run properly, the engine must run coolant throughout the engine block to keep temperatures manageable.
While driving, demands in performance fluctuate, such as when driving uphill or accelerating quickly.
The only way the engine knows how to regulate the cooling process is if the CTS is functioning properly.
COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
There are ways this crucial but unfortunately fragile part can experience issues.
POWER LOSS THROUGH ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Even if the CTS and the car's battery are operating perfectly, the wiring in between can still lead to problems.
Making sure there are no frayed or damaged wires is an easy way to ensure all the cars electrical components are functioning properly.
BROKEN SENSOR
If the sensor is damaged, it will be
’
noticed right away because you ll no longer see a reading of the temperature inside the engine block.
This could be due to other issues, but checking the sensor itself is a good place to start & replace it if it is broken.
THE CAR BATTERY
This can be a destructive problem because many symptoms could point to or come from a faulty coolant temperature sensor.
If the check-engine light is coming on & other sources are not showing up properly, then the power source is malfunctioning.
