You're welcome 🙂

you might have to get the ECU reset. I know other owners have had to do it. Alternatively speak to an auto electrician to see if there could be something else amiss. 

You have 2 coolant temperature sensors in your vehicle. One sends its signal to the ECU for proper fuel trim. The other one (which is what you need) sends its reading to 2 places. One place is your gauge, the other place is your radiator fan.

Replace it quickly, since failure of one function typically signifies the impending failure of the other.

It is part # W0133-1619933

Any number of suppliers have it. Should be around £30-£40 if memory serves correctly.

It's hard to see, but your looking for a big brass nut. It's about an inch in diameter, and it's actually a plug that screws into a black pipe coming off the back of your engine.

The actual sensor is held in place by that nut and is all one piece. The sensor you need sticks into that pipe and monitors the water temp.

Hi Steve,

Thank you for that wonderful welcome!

I've tried the battery thing with no joy. I can see the inner wing connection, it looks good.

When i turn it over, around 1 in 20 times all the right lights, light up and it starts on the button, lights go out, all good.

The non starting times the gear select indicator comes on but none of the other lights. The engine turns over but never catches.....

It's been doing it since i got her in February. Battery is good.

It's really annoying as one moment all good the next second nothing

Ideas welcome.

BTW Water temp gauge failed a week back, fans fires up ok, so guess it might be the G63 sensor...any idea on the source for these?

Cheers

 sensor sensor

Hi All,

This old girl is new to me.

All was going well with the water temperature gauge but now it's dead. The sensor for the fans works fine.

I think I've located the correct sensor G63 sensor, should i just swap it out? whats the best make to get and where from. Recommendations welcome

Cheers

Hi There,

I have a 1998 2.6 Cab with the ABC engine & Auto box. It's intermittently starting. One moment ok the next no warning lights and the engine turns over but not starting.

Green Flag guy said it might be the immobiliser which is located in the ignition barrel. He was unable to do any diagnostics as he didn't have the right connection for my old car!

Is this a known issue and Is there an easy way to reset the ECU (connection in fuse box I think).?????

Any ideas?
