Sanj 0 Posted May 17, 2004 Folks, I did an oil change yesterday and replaced the oil and the oil filter, however driving to work today and I pressed the MAF button to get oil temp reading and all I get is " - - -", all the other readings like mpg, time, etc are fine. Have I damaged the oil temp sensor? :( I don't see how, it was a straight forward oil change. Any ideas folks?? If it is the oil temp sensor where is it?? Any help is much appreciated. :roll: Thanks Sanj Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scott 0 Posted May 17, 2004 Sounds like you have knocked / ripped the wires that go to the sensor - very easy to do..... check the wiring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 17, 2004 The temp sensor for the oil on the 1800 16V is behind the head, green and black wire IIRC. I reckon it's the same for the 2.0 aswell, but don't quote me on that! Either the sensor has died during a mysterious coincidence or the wiring is iffy. K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanoVR 0 Posted May 17, 2004 Not being patronising, but you do know that a reading is only given when the oil >50 degrees. I'm sure you know this, and if so, i can't help any further!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sanj 0 Posted May 17, 2004 Right I have my suspicions it might be the sensor will check it if I can find it, I dont' see how it can go since I only replaced the Oil Filter and undid the sump plug at the bottom, and I did'nt see any wires around those to knock the sensors??
