You will lose coolant when you remove the sensor. However, if you're just doing a straight swap with a new sensor, you could remove the old one and quickly fit the new one, or, if you have a tapered rubber bung you could take out the sensor and quickly plug the hole to minimise coolant loss.
Sensor change did not help. I have problem with false overheating. Engine warms Nice idling, temperature starts lowing when driving, take a while and goes bottom down to 50-60 stays there for a while then stop sign comes and gauge shoots straight to redzone. Any ideas?
It sounds like a faulty thermostat. However it could be something else like a faulty water pump or even the gauge itself. I would change the thermostat first as it's relatively cheap to do.
You could also partially drain the coolant to just below the level of the sensor and then top it up afterwards, or you could do a quick swap with the new sensor without draining the coolant at all. You may only lose a very small amount of coolant if done quickly and accurately.
@@screwsnutsandbolts I'm gonna drain the radiator and put in new coolant anyway, and replace the MAP sensor aswell. Should I disconnect the battery before I start draining the coolant and replacing the coolant temp sensor or can it be plugged in?
Click here to watch a video on how to drain the radiator: ruclips.net/video/EKuZndxyvXk/видео.html
Can the sensor be replaced withut draining the radiator?
does this car only have one sensor for temp and to start radiator fan or it has ?
I think it only has this one
Hi Amy reason why you have to drain water
You will lose coolant when you remove the sensor. However, if you're just doing a straight swap with a new sensor, you could remove the old one and quickly fit the new one, or, if you have a tapered rubber bung you could take out the sensor and quickly plug the hole to minimise coolant loss.
Hello, my cooling fan suddenly stops working. The fan itself is still good. I think the sensor is broken
can you help me that this sensor
This sensor could be the problem if the fan has stopped coming on.
Svaka čast!
Thank you !
Whats the symptoms of faulty coolant temperature sensor ? Is the exhaust gas smell including the sign of faulty sensor?
There's quite a few issues a faulty temp sensor can cause. Check this link: mechanicbase.com/coolant/engine-coolant-temperature-sensor-symptoms/
@@screwsnutsandbolts thank you
You're welcome
Mine that the gauge ne er come down from Red
Do you need to use odb after you have change the sensor to make it sure to work properly? So ECU knows the sensor has replaced?
No it should be a straight swap

@@JorgelGarcia666 that is a thermostat problem.
do you know if you can jump the wires on the plug to the ECT to see if the fans work?
I'm not sure, sorry
Do I understand this correct? Drain radiator --> Replace sensor --> Add new coolant

It might be worth disconnecting the battery, seeing as though you're replacing a couple of sensors
A que temperatura trabaja?
Has a dog been in there ?
lol :). That hair was on the engine and stuck to the sensor as I removed it. Still not sure how it got there.....
