Could be like mine. Someone got in a small front-end accident with it. My power steering line brackets broke so my outside temp sensor and power steering line were laying in the bottom of the bumper. I found a bracket (part number 8D0820536C) to hold the outside temp sensor. I just ordered it last week though and haven't received it yet but it says it is for all B5 A4's. As far as a new bracket for the power steering line, I haven't been able to find one. The bracket that holds the power steering line seems to be permanently attached to the power steering line and I can only find them being sold with a new power steering line. I guess I'm going to have to try to make my own bracket to hold it in place. Let me know if you find a bracket for the power steering line though. I would be interested in getting one.

 

bringing this back from the dead, hope someone reads this, lol. is that plug off to the right with the yellow arrow where this sensor plugs in? i am having a problem locating the other end of the sensor. mine is bad and i have rereplacement but cant seem to find other damn end. thanks guys

 

Pull the cover off the PS reservoir. If I remember correctly, the sensor plugs in under there. There are 5-6 connectors there and I think the sensor is the lime green, small round one.

 

thanks. thats the one i was coming to but seems like the plug looked alot smaller than this.

i guess i should of taken it off and compared. thanks again though, i will pull off and see how it works out.

 

Hi I'm Jay and I'm trying to replace my sensor also. I bought a used one on EBay used OEM and has a 3 ft cord and I'm trying to find out where it plugs in? I know where the 5 or 6 plugs are by the power steering reservoir. should the plug be lime green in color that goes to the outside temp sensor? Thanks Jay

 

Thank you! my **** does the same thing.

Now I know why.

Detailed photo very much appreciated.
