Blue Temp sender Q.

[tonyppe]

if i were to do this on the weekend, what would it entail?

is the sender in the water system? would i need to drain, and bleed the water (the bms are w*nkers to bleed for air locks )

should i be expecting hands full of cuts afterwards cos its so awkward to get to?
how long would it take?

help please!

It's very easy providing you have a spanner that will fit! I didn't and had to buy myself a new set of offset ring spanners.

Removing the brown sensor helps (you may want to change that too while your at it!).

You will get a bit of coolant leakage, but no need to drain it - just top it up afterwards.

The OEM spark plug tool fits the sensor perfectly

I assume its for a m20 engined car, cause m40's are slightly different, but still not hard
