Default Code: PO116

Hello,
I recently got the Check Engine light, and than took it to Autozone, and the Code was PO116. I know its 'Engine Coolant Temp.Circ Range/Performance'. Has anyone got this before, and if so, what did u do to fix this. I was told it MIGHT be a Coolant Temp Center. Any thoughts?

Default It could be a Coolant Temperature sensor...

They are a common failure part on VW/Audi cars...if it has the modern sensor in it the updated replacement part is roughly $6 at your local VW/Audi dealer. What year/engine is your A4?

Default Update to the new style coolant sensor(about $8 from dealer)

Its located at the backside of the engine block. You'll probably find your car not only idles better , but gets better MPG after installing it. The original ones they installed from the factory were terrible at best.
