Coolant Sensor Below Inlet Manifold

[944Scott]

I ordered a replacement on the basis of changing it whilst I had the manifold off but what turned up looks a bit different to what came out though.

Have I been sent the wrong part or has some clown used one from another car? im hoping one of you guys who is a fountain of knowledge can tell me.

Excuse the poor picture but the blackberry is crap when it comes to photo's

In a word, yes !

It looks to me as though you've been sent a two connection radiator switch rather than a coolant temperature sender.

Don't forget there are two sender units, one for the DME and one for the temperature gauge.

Chris is right, that is a rad switch for an early car. I know, I fitted one to mine just the other week.

That explains the difference between the two connection (early model) and the three connection (late model) fan switches !

 

[944Scott]

Its the second time I have ordered a sensor for this location and been sent the wrong bloody one.

might be easier to go and fetch one ?!

My OPC is miles away from me.

Best to download all of the FrontRunner PET parts catalogues in .pdf format so that you can order by part number.
