- up to model year 08

Component Identification

The NTC resistor integrated in the coolant temperature sensor (B11/4) alters its electrical resistance in line with the coolant temperature.
NTC is the abbreviation for " Negative Temperature Coefficient", which means electrical resistance falls as the temperature increases (hot conductor).

Example:
Coolant temperature

Resistor

20 °C

3090 ohms ±5%

80 °C

320 ohms ±5%
