Mk2 LT Temperature Sensor - 1996-06 - 2.3 (AGL), 2.8TDI (AUH)

This engine temperature sensor is designed specifically for VW Mk2 LT vans produced from May 1996 to July 2006, equipped with either the 2.3 petrol engine (AGL) or 2.8 TDI diesel engine (AUH). It is a single-connector temperature switch that threads directly into the engine block, designed to activate at a switch point of 120°C.

Featuring a black-coded body for easy identification, this sensor uses a standard M14 x 1.5 thread and requires a 19mm spanner for installation. At 52mm in length, it fits snugly into the designed coolant passage and helps control warning indicators or fans based on coolant temperature.

This part is essential for monitoring high-temperature conditions and plays a critical role in preventing engine overheating by triggering warning lights or electric fans at the designated threshold.

Function and Features:

• Switches at 120°C to alert of overheating

• Single connector design for reliable signal output

• Thread: M14 x 1.5, 52mm total length

• High-heat-resistant body with black colour coding

• Suitable for petrol and diesel variants with AGL or AUH engine codes

This sensor is often located in the cylinder head or thermostat housing, and replacement is straightforward during cooling system servicing or overheating diagnostics.

Compatibility:

• VW LT Mk2 (1996–2006)

  • 2.3 Petrol (AGL engine code)

  • 2.8 TDI Diesel (AUH engine code)
