[Mille]

Hi All

I think the above may be on the blink . It splutters to start 1st thing in the morning .

Could anyone tell me where I would find it on the engine ?

Also where the cheapest place for a replacement

thanks

what model do you have, and what other routes have you gone down to try and solve the problem?

[Mille]

Its a GR , its the first place Im starting. Its just dificult to start the engine in the morning . Its fine the rest of the day .

Mille, how do you know it the water temp sensor, have you undertaken a diagnostic? Assume alternator is changing battery and alarm is working OK?

Battery alternator all working good .My mechanic just advised best place to start .

Where on the engine would I find it ? Do I have to remove anything to get at it.

Anyone ?

The water temp sensor is located below the filler cap on the coolant system, follow the pipe downwards, you may need to remove air box / filter and battery to get access.
