What is this?

Hi,

1 Picture of it in place and 1 picture with it taken off.


Cheers

it is your temp censor for your dash i think there only a quid or so for a new one

[Southie]

Yes its the temp sensor, without it your temp gauge won't work and "depending what car you've got" it can alter the running if ecu.

Not much cashola though.

that one is for an ecu sensor, he just wants the normal spade sensor :thumb:

Copied wrong window lol I posted the one I needed :tard:

[craig green]

Should be able to get one cheaply enough on here. I may even have 1 or 2 in't shed.

[sparky]

the brass bit was a bit big to fit in, so I had to make it a bit smaller, how do these work anyway?

[Adam]

Varying resistance

[sparky]

but its got no wires on it and doesnt seem to have any moving parts

[sparky]

double post

[sparky]

so how does it actually make a difference to the running of the car?
