[Author Prev][Author Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Author Index][Thread Index] Installed my temperature sensors
I finally got around to installing the multi-function temp. sensors in both of my cars. Angela's 90Q20V had a completely dead gauge, and my 100Q had a 50/50 gauge. They install quite easily; undo the top of the radiator hose that blocks access to it, unsnap the connector, and unscrew it with vise-grips or a BIG wrench (1" maybe?). Then, as they say, installation is the reverse of removal :-) All told, it was about 10 minutes in my car (once I figured out that I was *tightening* it, not loosening it!). Angela's car took significantly longer, since there isn't room to swing a screwdriver in her engine compartment. Two questions: my car now reads about 1/2 notch cooler than it used to. I assume this is just a slight variance in sensor output. Angela's car reads fine, but her auto-check display sometimes lights up the "water temperature" symbol. Water and oil temps seem fine from the gauges. Coolant level is OK. Any thoughts? -- Andrew L.
