Re: Help...low temp thermo and fan switch! (3WheelGTi)
Hiya,
I did mine a couple of weeks ago when my fan sensor packed it in.
I didnt particularly feel like draining my coolant when I did it as it was done only half a year previous..
It only ended up taking me about 10 minutes.
*make sure the engine is cold when you do this to avoid built up pressure in the coolant system
1)wrap new fan sensor threads in teflon tape (you want it to seal nicely)
2)put a drip pan under the car
3)unplug the wires to the sensor
4)get your 1 1/8 (or so) socket handy
5)loosen yr old sensor
6)unscrew it
REALLY FAST and screw the new one in.
7) tighten it up, and hook up the wires.
8)add as much coolant as you lost
9)have a
thats it.
Oh, and I think I paid $18cdn for my low temp sensor
