Replacing the MFTS

[Rbade12 at aol.com]

Man, problems like this are frustrating, eh? If the temp gauge  worked prior 
to changing the piece I'd have to think it's an issue with the new  MFTS. I'd 
think Bentley would have ohm specs for it, or just ohm out the old vs  new.
 
Good luck, Bob

Gentlemen,

there has been discussion of the MFTS on this  list.  It appears  
replacement is not as straightforward as it  would seem.

Coolant leak discovered at MFTS.
Audi replacement MFTS  has 3 terminals instead of the original 4.  The  
+Battery  terminal has been eliminated.
After installing the 3 terminal MFTS, the  temperature gauge does not  
work.

I installed the same 3  terminal MFTS in a 5000 and the temp gauge  
works there.

The  voltages on the wires coming from the mating connector (to the 3- 
terminal  MFTS) are as follows.

5000:
10V       12.5V
+Bat      10V

200tq20v:
10V     9.4V
0V        10V

What's causing the  difference here?

The wiring diagram shows one of the wires going to the  instrument  
cluster.
Could this be an artifact of my flaky  instrument cluster (which I  
have resoldered, etc. but which still  acts up)?
