UPDATE, After a right struggle I finally managed to change the sensor mounted in the head ( Green socket 2 wire one), My '17' fault is still there but now i am getting another fault code '15' Coolant Temperature Voltage High, So now i have 2 fault codes '15' & the original '17' one
, I cant refit the old sensor as I managed to break the top off it getting the thing out, So do I assume that the new sensor is duff?, Admittedly I didn't get a genuine VX one as the clowns at my local stealer didn't know what i was talking about (no surprise there then) so had to resort to a fleabay one, I will try & unplug the ECU for a while just to see if that wakes something up, Failing that where is my next thing to prod,Kick & swear at?.
