Title: Temp Guage Sensor.
Post by: T-rev on 03 May 2011, 20:55:13

Hi, just a quick question, is there a temp guage sensor (other than the 2 on the radiator) that the in car guage takes its readings from, and if so, where is it located? Thanks, and hope the question makes sense? :)

Back of the engine between the "V". Single wire connector

By far the easiest way to locate it is......plenum off, inlet manifold off, then you can see it at the rear of the oil cooler to the left. :y

Waits for V6 owners to correct me :D ;D

Thanks again Rob...All that just to change a sensor, still if it solves the problem then well worth it. :)
