1.6d Oil Pressure Switches/Water temp sensor locations

Post by MattBW »

I had my engine bay rewired as it was dodgy. Unfortunately since the rewire I've discovered that the connections were wrong.

I need to trouble shoot and reconnect the sensors to the correct wires. My problem is I don't know where the various connections/sensors are or where they should be connected.

Engine 1.6D normally aspirated.

I think I know where the two oil pressure switches are, but where is the water temp sensor? Couldn't find anything on the wiki and I am not very knowledgeable on engines so don't know what to look for.

Cheers, Matt.

Temp sensor for the glowplug relay is in the heater hose flange on the back of the cylinder head (back of engine is nearer the front of the van).
Temp sensor for the temperature gauge is in the bypass hose flange on the upper side of the engine. That's the hose that goes down to the water pump.
1.9D (AEF) pop-top. Aaaaahhhhh........that's better.
