Heat sensors

Recommended Posts

Need the part numbers for heat sensors, dont think readings are correct, I believe there are 3? Thanks

Unsure what car you are referring to, but if you have a VR6, there are a few sensors on the thermostat housing as seen here.

 

Also, peruse the definitive cooling thread to understand the cooling system - it gives a good overview of the sensors and what they do (only one sensor supplies the temperature gauge).

 

Before you go spending cash on sensors, have a read of Bentley's Gauges and Instrument testing article regarding how the sensors operate. Then try substituting the sensor with a resistor and see if the gauge displays an appropriate value.

 

 

What make you think the readings are incorrect?

Could the thermostat be faulty - and the coolant is actually cooler than expected?

Do the fans not operate - but it is roasting under the bonnet?
