Coolant temp sensor Posted by Landjet [Email] (#16) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Landjet) on Wed, 8 Jul 2009 10:06:42 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
There was a post that I wrote regarding the thread geometry of the coolant temp sensor. I have now seen three of these snap off and read about two others. Seems that the FAE brand was common amongst the group. For some reason, I can't find that post now, so I am writing this again so there is a record of the thread geometry discrepancy. The threads on the new sensors are not tapered like the old style, and therefore, prone to snap off in the housing. Use extreme care when installing those type sensors and some kind of teflon tape to ease the entry of the near interference threads.
