Im going to change these as the car had some problems starting when warm etc. Is it worth paying extra for them from BMW or should I just go to GSF or ECP?
The yellow tells the car if the coolant is hot or cold doesnt it but what does the blue one do?
Blue and yellow temp sensors

The blue one is for the gauge, the one for the ECu should be brown

Its the other way around, blue for ECU (2 pin connector) and brown (single pin connector) for the guage.Andy_magic wrote:The blue one is for the gauge, the one for the ECu should be brown
I bought mine from Eurocarprats and they work perfectly.

You would think I'd know that as I wrote a guide all about the senders a few months ago.
