Well, I guess I should start this off explaining some things...
I picked a 91 TSi AWD up from a local forum. The seller claimed it only need a couple minors things done. (don't they always?)
Anyway... I bought it cheap, knowing it was going to need a ton of work.
I just did a timing belt, B/S delete, head gasket (who uses felpro paper gaskets on a turbo car?) the regular DSM stuff.
My question is...
Why would someone cut off the connectors to both of the coolant sensors. (I think they are both coolant sensors anyways.)
Also, where the heck do I go to get them? I have read that some dodges and jeeps use the same connectors, but I am not anywhere near a pick-n-pull. any ideas as to where I could find these and have them shipped? I live in northern Michigan, and junkyards here think all customers are thieves. we cant just go pull the part we need.
