Coolant Sensor 16V - Quick response needed!

Recommended Posts

Team,

 

The coolant light is permenantly 'on' on my dash. Pretty sure either a sensor's gone or the coolant head sensor is mucky / needs cleaning. Also noticed a slight dip in power as well could be related.

 

Where would I find the Coolant temperature sensor? I presume next to 16V head, if somebody could confirm asap that would be great. Want to try and sort on my lunch break.

 

Cheers,

Is it not the one on the header tank? Try bridging a wire across the 2 wires in the plug, if the light goes out then its maybe because you have low water or the sensor in the header tank is covered in crap.

Swiftkid - You were spot on. Muck on sensor and low water. Sensor terminals wire brushed / cleaned. Coolant topped up.

 

Tested. All ok. Coolant light on dash is now out. Dip in power is now gone - we're back in business!

 

Cheers guys,
