Karl, The Syncro was available in Europe starting in 1985 with the first Syncro registered by VW in 11/84! The 1986 (11/85) Camper that I purchased in Europe had a 1.9L motor in it and the round fuses. The 1986 (08/86) camper that I have now has a 2.1L motor in it with DigiJet injection (not Digifant) and square fuses. The 07/85 Single Cab (2WD) that I have has a 2.1L Digifant, square fuses. Sounds like Andy is running a European model with the DigiJet injection system.

Andy, The Syncro was not available till MY '86, and did not come with a 1.9l engine. Perhaps you are trying to install the sensor in the wrong place or in the wrong way or . . . The T2 Sensor should be located on the thermostat housing against the firewall on the driver's side. If not there, someone has pulled a switcheroo on your engine/coolant system. You need to describe what you have.

Well, I picked up a temp 2 sensor for my thought to be 86 (so the title says), but it didn't fit, called auto store checked door jam and it turns out my syncro was made in 7/85. Can't go wrong with the door jam. Hopefully the sensor will cure my sputtering problem, grounds are clean and I'm putting brand new cap/rotor and wires in just to be 100% sure.
