Literally just pop the plastic clip out with a screwdriver or pull with pliers or your hand, pull the sensor out, and install with NEW o-ring to avoid leaks, then just push the new clip into the groove
The coolant temperature sensor on a 2001 Volkswagen is located on the thermostat housing. The unit is hard to see but once found is easily removed by gently twisting and pulling the clip.
The coolant sensor is located approx. 1/2 way down the radiator on the passenger side of the vehicle. Disconnect the electrical connector, Remove the spring clip, pull out the sensor, replace with new sensor, replace the spring clip, connect electrical connector.
coolant temperature sensor is the right of the coolant outlet line on the top of the engine when looking at while standing in front of the truck. it has a black two prong clip attached to the sensor. the oil temp switch is to the left of the coolant outlet line. it has a single black wire coming off of it.
drivers side hose next to cylinder head, green top four wires. pull out plastic clip, pops out, will loose some coolant
It is in the passenger side coolant tank on the radiator. If the light is on and the coolant is at the proper level then the sensor is defective. To replace it you will have to drain the radiator. Disconnect the wire and remove the clip and remove the sensor.
If you mean the engine coolant temp sensor it should be on the drivers side of the engine block. Follow your top radiator hose from the radiator to the engine block. near that you should see a sensor (it has a clip on it where the wires attach). I hope my description helps!
Answerthe sensor is located about 4 inches down inside of the radiator....probably need to replace radiator. Wrong.. that is the level sensor, and it can be replaced by itself by removing the clip around the sensor and pulled out, however it will leak coolant if the radiator is full so be careful. the temprature sensor is on the block by the the thermostat housing. follow the upper radiator hose to the engine and your hand will hit the temp. sensor. it has electrical wires on it, disconnect them and remove the sensor with the correct wrench. replace the sensor and reinstall the electrical clip, the sensor is around 13 dollars
The coolant temperature sensor is located on the passenger side radiator tank about 1/3 of the way down. It has a square back and faces toward the engine and is held in place by a spring clip. It has a two wire electrical connector and it is in direct contact with the radiator coolant via an o-ringed cylinder. You will loose coolant when changing it. If this sensor goes bad the A/C will not work, the temperature gauge will not work, fuel economy goes down, the low coolant light will light, and the cooling fans will run regardless of engine temperature.
The coolant temperature sensor on a 1998 Honda Accord is located next to the thermostat housing. The sensor has a blue clip located on the right side of the engine compartment.
on the 4 cylinder it's on the bottom of the thermostat housing, main radiator hose area. it has a metal clip type connector on it. the one on top is the coolant sensor.
Directly behind the cylinder head. Should have a green colored top on it .1 connector. Metal clip holds it in
How to install a coolant temperature senThe only one I've ever changed was on a 3.1 litre V6 and it's located right behing the thermostat housing. All you need to do is unplug the clip with 2 wires and unscrew the sensor from the block (usually with a 1/2 inch end wrench). Installation is just the opposite.
