temp sensors

[onslow]

how much are they?

my 325 is doing 12mg round town and tickinh over at about 950rpm.

no leaks from afm or intake so thought i would change temp sensors as this seems to be a place to start.

a figure of around £16 each comes to mind. Just change the blue one. There's no point in changing the brown one, unless it's been shown to be the cause of a mis-reading temp gauge.

cheers!

Onslow, I had my temp sensor changed and the part was £16. I still have a tickover issue though.

Let me know if you get to the bottom of your problem, it sounds similar to mine although I am getting better MPG and the car sounds lumpy on tickover not just fast.

The prices at BMW were: blue one 16 + vat and the brown was 11+vat.

From GSF =

I got the GSF ones and they are top quality.

Is it the brown one I need to change on my M50 conversion?

Yes, for a single pin M20 one.
