Default need help clearing code

i have the code p0116 i need help clearing... i recently had 9 codes p0134 , p0116 , p1101 , p0150 , p0130 , p0154 , p1106 , p0155 and p1602. i replaced all four oxygen sensors and everything was clear...after about 30-60 minutes of driving the p0116 code came on. i know it can be o2 sensor related but don't believe thats the case since i bought all four new and they cleared the other codes. i can't find any vac leaks or anything unplugged. any ideas?

Did you look up the code? Its an ECT sensor code, there's a few possible causes but most common solution would be ECT sensor replacement unless its your thermostat, if you car does not warm up or stays warm (on highways) . I had that code when my tstat went.

Yeah sounds like it. I would recommend changing timing belt idler and tensioner pulleys and water pump since you're going to be there anyway.

If he has 1.8T, I am pretty sure the thermostat can be changed without putting the car into service position and accessing all timing components.

Four oxygen sensors suggest a V6.
