Masked Marauder Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 The U clip holds the sensor in, you pulled the whole sensor out chap. Unless half the sensor stayed in the hole..... Quote
smoggy7 Posted July 5, 2006 Author Report Posted July 5, 2006 hi mask i have sent in a pic here i think i maybe in the wrong place but this is the only one i can see when you take off the u clip the pipe comes from the black box that is bolted to the head and coolant runs out so where on this pic is the sensor plz thanks smoggy is this the right sensor that i am looking for circled in red smoggy Quote

Masked Marauder Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 Aye, that picture is not of the sensor! Will try to sort out what I can in a bit. OK, where this test box is attached to is the sensor : Quote
smoggy7 Posted July 5, 2006 Author Report Posted July 5, 2006 hi mask, my wifes cousin has just poped in from work and he has found it it is located at the back of the thermostat housing very akward to get at the pic i showed you its behind that and to the left with the connector with wires on it , it aint easy to get at i cant take a picture of it as i cant get my hand in there nevermind a camera so i suppose that is the one we want thanks smoggy hi mask we have found it we think mate look closely at the picture you can just see it to the left its location is behind the thermostat housing circled in red what you think?

Masked Marauder Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 See my post above, although it could be wrong! I just found the same picture for something else.... Quote
smoggy7 Posted July 6, 2006 Author Report Posted July 6, 2006 hi mask, i looked up another name for the temp sensor would the coolant sensor be the same as i could see any sensors that correspond to the temp sensor looked the coolant images and it looks to be the correct name for it unless they are different many thanks smoggy Quote
smoggy7 Posted July 6, 2006 Author Report Posted July 6, 2006 hi mask, ok went down to fords to order part as i cant get it nowhere here so i took a fitter out tothe car with me and confirmed the coolant sensor is the one that is in the pic to the left, but the black box circled in red isnt the thermostat housing he did say it was something else, anyway i will wait now until part arrives and let you know in due course what happens hopefully it will sort it all the best to you and the rest for their input on this great stuff spaek soon smoggy7 Quote
