But how the hell do you get to the blue one?????
Can't get a spanner on it as the end of the fuel rail sticks out.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated as I'm doing the job tonight.

Hi Guys! I need to change the temperature sensors on the thermostat housing of my 325. I managed to get the brown one undone with a 19mm open ended spanner.
But how the hell do you get to the blue one?????

you can get these out using the spanner on its tip, with a screwdriver to provide leverage through the ring end Dan, sounds dodgy but it the best way without stripping the rail off.

Cheers Ant.
I was dreading having to take the thermostat housing off again as I have only just put everything back together after fitting a new head etc.

heyup. probably a bit late for you, but i changed the blue sensor in question today. used the spark plug grip from the tool kit in the boot, and a bar through one hole at top to turn it. just a note. cheers.
