Hi, have just bought a defi water temp gauge and sensor, but am getting mixed reports on where to locate the sensor itself (on a new age).

The defi manual says T it into the upper radiator feed line. Others have said remove the existing water temp sensor behind the alternator and locate both that and the new sensor into a T piece in that location. I don;t like the sound of that since you'd be pulling the existing sensor out of the line of water flow and possibly getting a less reliable reading as a result .

I'm thinking the upper rad line will be easier to install and give just as reliable reading. What have others done? Any advice appreciated

 

BTT, doesn't anyone on here install their own gauges then

 

I would T into the top rad hose. Try demon tweeks for the alloy pipe to make the T connection. You should know the thread size required.
