audi 80 inlet air temperature sensor - konceppt
Hi there people i own an audi 80 H registration,It is a 2.0 e.I am looking for the inlet air temperature sensor.I have looked at my engine and there are lots of sensor connectors on it.I believe it is the connector nearest the airbox which is connected to a little black box,But i would like this to be confirmed for me.There are a few more sensors towards the inlet manifold but i figure the air temperature would need to be taken straight after the airbox.The sensor i see has two wires connected to it and is right above the airbox which is basically hidden from view as it's tucked away underneath what i believe to be the power steering pump just because it has hydraulic lines connected to it.Please help me!!

You didn't actually believe that e-bay guff that sticking a 2p resistor across the air temp sensor will magically "transform the power of your car" - did you?

You'd better send it back, because the KE-Motronic system on a '90 2.0E doesn't actually use one. If you want to alter the mixture on those, you don't need a silly e-bay resistor; Bosch give you an adjusting screw! [Take a tip though: don't fiddle with it!]
