hi all im havin engine cut out problems on my 98 uk wagon the fault code says coolant temp sensor so im gona try and change it does anyone know where it is located
cheers alex

 

Hi from what i know its either at the rear of engine near the turbo/inlet manifold area...Very hard to see and get to. Or its behind the alternator, Remove the alternator to get at it.

It's the sensor with a large clip and 2 wires.


Regards, John

 

Up to and including Version 4 ~ Brown 2 pin Sensor





Version 5 onwards ~ Grey 3 pin sensor

Take all the black pipes off to the inlet breather box from the top of the maifold, look down you'll see a sensor (as in above picture) really fiddly mate, release the wire connector undo sensor with a 19mm spanner, spin it out quick and replace it asap coolant will run out all over, top up, refit connector.
Not a tech head but done mine twice now, 1st time took 45 minutes second time 15 minutes mine was a 1995 import, hope its the same...

 

Ive got the 2 pin on my 94 ra to look forward to mate. Lucky me
