Water Temp sensor.

This might sound a silly question, but how do you remove the sensor
thank you

[Mocki]

depends what engine you have......

[gtrbikeman]

Engine is 1900cc water cooled

[dannybook]

Why do you want to remove it?

[Mocki]

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

Cheers Mocki.
Looking at it I think its got the R clip on. Will have ago tomorrow.

[Mocki]

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.....

Just a bit of advice--Dont buy a replacement from GSF, Ive had 2 and both give faulty readings!!!!!
