Danny1107 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 would probably be best to change the thermostat aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white_van_man Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 yeah as well as the sensors give the cooling system a flush and replace the thermostat now we are heading towards the summer its best not to neglect the cooling system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The coolant temperature sensor has nothing to do with the vehicle overheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs boy Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 well basically the temp sender switch is wet and anti freeze is leaking out of it and also i think the rad fan switch has gone which is not on the thermostat housing is on a pipe i think im not very good on the mechanical side any feedback is highly accrepiated as i dont want to get mugged out by some garage thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
