thank you

Re: Water Temp sensor.
ok, if its early, its simple unscrew it from the thermostat housing, but warm the engine first *
if its a late, there is a "R" clip that holds it into the housing, and a rubber "O" ring that seals it. you will prob find its stuck in place even after you take the "R" clip out, be gentle, and dont break the housing..
*warm, not hot, just so the thermostat housing is warm to the touch, any hotter then you could burn yourself as the coolant comes out

Re: Water Temp sensor.
it would have helped if you had told us what year the van is.
just be aware that you will be getting a arm and pit full of coolant when you take that sensor out on a late cooling system, its a 17mm hole you are unplugging.....
