themodifiedkid Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 After stripping a lot of my engine bits and pieces down I had to take off the top water elbow ( the one with the 2 senors on) Anyway I disconnected the single wire sensor connector and the damn thing just disintegrated in my hand. So when it came to putting everything back together I just slid the metal connector that was in the plastic housing on to the metal pin of the sensor. I then had to bleed the system and now the dash coolant display does not read anything ( well very slight flickering. So I gather I need to get a new connector, would it be sensible to get a new sensor as well, its just it worked fine before I took it apart. So my question is has this happened to anyone else, and does any body know the part numbers for the connector for the single wire connection and the associated sensor. Hope my description makes sense!! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themodifiedkid Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 I'll have to try and source the part numbers for these 2 bits, I normally get my bits from Paul (whifbitz) but he is on holiday for 2 weeks as from today. Typical, just my luck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
