P1296 Cooling system Malfunction
I have a 2000 Audi A4 with a 2.8l. I keep getting a P1296 code. The odd thing is the temp gauge works normal, and the MIL will come on and off randomly. I'm not thinking it is a thermostat being as the timing belt, WP and thermostat was just done about 8 months ago. Not even 5k miles have been put on since then. I'm leaning towards the ECT being the problem. Just looking for any ideas before I dig into this. Thanks.

Coolant temp sensor.. It has 2 outputs: 1 for the gauge 1 for the ecu

Check this out. The "Special Notes" may be useful.
