Temp Gauge Sensor Fitting

[marinabrid]

hi just got another temp sensor for the tdi it not have a thread just a rubber sealing ring, is it just a pull the old one out and push the new one in job, or something more complex ? do you have to drain the water or be quick to swop the new one ? thanks :blink:

Hi m8. Its held in by a metal spring clip and just pulls out but it might be tight. Gently wiggle and twist until it releases. Be careful as the housing is plastic and easily cracked if you are too rough. The first time i changed mine i didnt drain any water out and if you are quick you only loose a little otherwise drain off a couple of litres till just below the sensor.
