I kept pushing on Classic Center on the TTS (A 001 545 92 24) replacement here in Europe. As we know, the US classic Center offers refurbishment for ca $600. Europe does not, just say NLA.
But I have received this through a dealer recently:
A 001 545 92 24 replace with:
A 004 545 91 24 x 1 - which is a thermo switch
A 009 545 44 28 x 1 - which is pin bushing housing
A 003 545 26 26 x 2 - these are pins
A 009 545 45 28 x 1 - this is cover for this housing
I went to see this thermo switch - it is used in M100 and M110 engines. It is a VDO switch 232-036-002-19D. I could not get its description, I just found it is a "thermo switch for a cooling fan".
A switch for cold start and a switch for cooling fan, intuitively, work in opposite directions (one switches on, the other off when something warms up). So I got confused there. But I may not know how it works in M100 or M110.
On the other hand it has two pins and the positive wire is to be connected to it...
Do you know this part recommended as replacement? Can this really be a replacement for TTS - at least: does it work the same way, meaning cuts off the ground at certain temperature? I am not after the timing vs. temperature etc., just after tha basic function - when it is over certain temperature, it cuts off the ground.
Can you comment on this?
