ok, ya got me.... i've never heard of this switch, and i have been messing with e16se's for a good while.. are you sure its not the coolant temp switch?

[nova gem 1970]

ive looked in the haynes manual ,its bolted in the small alloy body that goes on the back of the inlet ,its the body that water passes through, theres a sensor that points towards the passenger side im after

[mowgli]

definitely CTS (coolant temp switch)

just ring a local factors & ask for a square plug type cts for a vauxhall

my coolant temp switch is on the side of the head under the dizzy ,if youve got a haynes manual on novas , its on page 13.34 supplement top of the lhs of the page

and you have the later type head then.. i got a replacement head with the round type CTS under the dizzy,... so i left it in to plug the hole.

my engine is a really early one & has the block on the back of the inlet manifold with the water pipes to it, & it has a square type cts exactly where you describe...
