There is a raised piece that you squeeze, I think. PS: If I recall, you just have to squeeze hard on that connector. You want to add it in a 50/50 (or whatever) mix.Ħ-Make the switch as quick as possible to lose as little coolant as possible.ħ-I'd say rinse the engine down some with a hose because the coolant is a little smelly. I think the o-ring is standard, but make sure the new one has one and that you take the old one out.ĥ-Make sure you have coolant AND distilled water on hand.

You are trying to do this quickly.Ĥ-I would recommend getting an extra clip. COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CYLINDER, Select MODEL: TARGET 600 E4, TARGET 600 T3b, Detail CYLINDER, Select MODEL: BLADE 550EFI FL LT, Detail CYLINDER, Select. If you drop it you won't lose it down there. And my hand hardly blistered at all after keeping ice on it for a while.ġ-Make sure it was stone cold (overnight at least).Ģ-Take cap off expansion tank just to be sure to release any pressure and put it back on again.ģ-Take electrical lead off old sender and put it on new one before installing sender. They were very cool (as opposed to my coolant) and gave me about 3/4 gal of pre-mix. I didn't take into account the pressure thing. To be fair to me, I only wanted to put in a new clip because the old one was partly broken. Well, at least you didn't do it in the dealer's lot like I did. SOOOO - please respond to those who have done - and done successfully - i was expecting no leakage and well - Temperature range: +40 C to +120 C Thread: 1/2-14 NPTF Sender resistance range: 287.4 - 22.7 Ohm Sensor signal: 1-pole common ground Warning contact: 103. SOOO im low on coolant - getting some today *from the dealer* - BY chance do i have to get this done at the dealer or did i do this this totally and utterly wrong ? do i need to release the pressure from the coolant tank - or clamp off the hoses or what -Īlso can someone explain the wire(s) that are coming off the TCS -Īnd help would be GREATLY appreciated - i dont like driving with the CEL on - and more improtantly with the temp guage thingy goin on and off - its one hell of an annoying sound *****remind you - my car had been sitting for 4 hours*****Īnywho - WHOOOSH - yeah you guessed it coolant all over - and well - it was quickly stopped when i put the temp sensor back in. Then I was like yeah get to remove my temp coolant sensor* Pulled the pin out *which was a pain in the arse*

I guess after reading the forums here and vwvortex - maybe i shoulda asked for a DIYĪnyway to no avail - i did everything *well what i thought was correctly*
