Greetings, I have encountered a situation where my sensor has malfunctioned, resulting in a lack of a reliable gauge and code read for the coolant temperature sensor. Upon conducting a component search, I have determined that I own the threaded sensor rather than the push fit. I am curious about the location of the push fit, as I have come across several photographs depicting it on a metal therm housing. I would want to have certainty prior to dismantling it.
Thank you in advance.

Regrettably, I am unable to provide a definitive response. However, it is worth noting that several contemporary engines are equipped with a temperature sensor that directly links to the Electronic Control device (ECU), as well as a distinct temperature sender that connects to the engine temperature gauge located on the dashboard. Therefore, it is essential to get the appropriate device.

Greetings,
Please provide further information on your vehicle.
The first w204s were equipped with a distinct engine in contrast to the subsequent variants.

Greetings,

The first W204 C220 CDIs are equipped with the OM646 engine, whereas the subsequent W204s are equipped with the OM651 engine.

The specification sheet or the V5 will have the information.

For anybody else experiencing this problem, you may see a loss of gauge and sporadic activation of a high-speed fan.
You have the option to purchase either the individual temperature sensor or the whole housing. Disregard the additional switch located on the top of your plastic thermostat housing. This switch serves to inform the ECU about whether the thermostat is closed or open.
The part number for a on651911 engine has been replaced by A651200615 and is now A6512002800.
I hope this information is beneficial to anybody in the future.
