Thermistor Replacement...

  1. Hi. The oil temperature thermistor on my two-valve has been damaged. I see a genuine Ducati replacement is ~£50. This looks like a pretty standard ‘industry’ component, does anyone know if there is a suitable replacement? Regards.
     
  2. Send me a picture.
    99% of thermistors have a resistance measuredat 25°C, a curve code and then either PTC or NTC... we need all this information....
     
  3. if you've got some diagnostic tables then I could work out the curve.... max price for most are about £5... stainless and Nitrile cable etc... down to pennies
     
  4. I just ordered one funnily enough, make sure you check it out first though:

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fits-VW-...sor/293566333243?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144

    latest part number reference is 55210452A
    with a bit of detective work, you will (hopefully) see that above item matches listing below, I've done it all before but can't find notes just now.

  11. Sorry Chris :blush:.... it's the engineer in me that can't help pointing out errors. :kissing_heart:
    There are no thermistors with that characteristics in any of my electronics books.
    That curve doesn't exist.

    Just done it now.
    As soon as it arrives I'll test it, put out a video and let everyone know the correct values.

    Thanks for the reminder @Chris
