hodge Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi guys I'm making a custom loom for my car and removing all the un-needed wiring. Am I correct in thinking the small water temp sensor with the single wire is for the water temp gauge on the dash and the larger sensor is to the ECU. Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas.B Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Bumping this thread with a temp question. Mine wont come alive in the dash so was going to check the sensor, where is it located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Top water elbow bud. There's 2 sensors, the 1 with the single wire in it is for the dash. Odds are the wire has snapped off it. It's a common issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a common issue. So I have the same idea as you, hodge removing any un wanted wiring. I have a syvecs fitted and have a lead that goes to thetop rad hose from the syvecs, can I do away with the other 2 sensors or leave the one with one wire for the dash? Chances are the origonal sensor is not plugged in to anything right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 The sensor with the 2 wires is your ECU coolant temp sensor. The Syvecs need that to be in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 The sensor with the 2 wires is your ECU coolant temp sensor. The Syvecs need that to be in place. But the syvecs has its own coolent temp sensor going to it. I think the oem ecu is just controlling the auto box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure, I can't see why it would have its own sensor. Ryan just calibrated the stock sensor. That way you can use the stock wiring instead of adding more.

Well theres 3 new wires that come from the passenger side grommet and one goes to the intercooler piping just before the tb and one goes to the top rad hose and the other is oil temp under the intake somewhere. Heres a pic you can see on the top rad hose a sensor - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 I guess it does then, but can't understand why though, nor can I understand the blue spaghetti around your turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
