So where *is* the oil temp sender? I'm pretty sure I have never seen it . . .

Or are you being sarcastic?

one and can't figure out where it goes.

It doesn't help ETKA calls the other sensor a level sensor.

and searched for it,,, nothing. I guess Matt is right? I have one of those sensors as well (bottom of the pan) I guess I could try it, but I'm not due for an oil change for another 4000 miles. (and for a 2000 with 33k that could be a very long time)

It variates between the temp, and a few other characteristics, and has a lot to do with the service interval on the instrument cluster. Doesn't operate the same as the single wire VDO oil temp sensor, as the S4 sensor doesn't operate my '97 cluster's oil temp gauge.

I have asked a few times and have received 2 answers, there and front of the block. as you can see in this shot form the bentley, it shows the sender right on the front of the motor. http://darksoul.online.bg/AUDI/1.8t/...s%20remove.pdf

Jeff Vader - boscoj AudiWorld Expert Account #: 15888 Join Date: Feb 2001 Posts: 25,395	it's just not there, just the plug. I think the 2.8 has it there, something does because I ordered one and can't figure out where it goes. It doesn't help ETKA calls the other sensor a level sensor. __________________ __________________________________________________ _______ * RIP MATT AMMON. YOU WILL BE MISSED *

I even went out to my spare motor and searched for it,,, nothing. I guess Matt is right? I have one of those sensors as well (bottom of the pan) I guess I could try it, but I'm not due for an oil change for another 4000 miles. (and for a 2000 with 33k that could be a very long time)

~~Mat Indukts Lambos~~ Banned Account #: 54525 Join Date: Apr 2003 Posts: 5,753	Technically an oil condition sensor. I don't think it senses the level. It variates between the temp, and a few other characteristics, and has a lot to do with the service interval on the instrument cluster. Doesn't operate the same as the single wire VDO oil temp sensor, as the S4 sensor doesn't operate my '97 cluster's oil temp gauge.
