Outside temp. sensor is behind the front bumper in front of the rad. if I remember correctly. Probably best just to check the wiring out first and unplug/plug in the sensor. Simple/cheap things first .... Thanks bud didn't think of that I shall have a look I take it I'm looking for breaks in the wi...

It's the picture of it from the rear I'm not keen on but the side shot of the spoiler isn't to bad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Cheers buddy I hate the spoiler so it's going when I can...

If that dont solve it its going to cost another £38.23 for temp sensor and extra £0.54for the ring seal

I will second that try and use OE parts I used a motor factor and did this this once and that temp sensor lasted two weeks. Took me ages to get my money back. Told them send it back warranty and I said I wanted the labour charge credited too. Should of charged them downtime too. If any factor tells...

Thanks mate shall price it all up can't imagine it be to pricey?????? ( he hopes )

Like I've said many times before I'd highly recommend changing them both at the same time & replacing the coolant this way you only disturb the cooling system once. You can look to see if it's got the original black temp sensor in at the moment the new upgraded ones are green & the cheap eB...

So is there any real way of finding out without replacing both ?????

Cheers

Cool cheers guys shall let you know on here tomorrow and see what the out come is ?

Cheers

I shall check again tomorrow on both and reply on here as I have to do some longer distance tomorrow so shall see what the outcome is
