The temperature sensor in many Volkswagen Passat models is usually found in the engine bay, near the front left side of the radiator. To access it effectively, you'll need to remove the front Euro-plate holder, the grille, and a few other small components in that area. If you plan to replace it yourself, you can expect the sensor to cost between $30 and $50 for most model years. Alternatively, if you prefer to have a professional mechanic handle it, the typical cost for the entire job, including parts and labor, ranges from $80 to $110. It's a straightforward task that even beginners can tackle, so don't be discouraged by the details – you can do it!
