I have a 2001 Jetta VR6. My engine with the cover looks different than the one you show. Is it the same engine, and is the CTS in the same location?

@mercanto I have not seen a jetta VR6 but i bet the cts is in the same location.

Where's the sensor on a 00 VW Golf 2.0 engine?

[richpin06a]

@dnalloh1987 On the left side end of the cylinder head there is a plastic housing can't miss it.

Another great video!!

Just had this done professionally and the new o-ring was pinched during installation, causing a small leak. It's installed properly now and doesn't leak: Moral of the story: be extra careful when installing any parts with o-rings seals....

@080slacker it is located in a outlet on the end of the cylinder head.To be on the safe side you can remove the negative battery cable.

where is the sensor for an 04 jetta 2.0 and do you disconnect the battery before the switch
