just fitted my second one of these as i bought cheap the first time, didnt fit the first myself i did just now thought id let it run for 15mins just to check my work. Car wasnt getting hot at all, then all of sudden i see piping hot water shooting everywhere from the engine coolant sensor. luckly my sis was sat in the car and could knock it off straight away. I think i fitted it a tad wrong sumhow  :shocked:

Also assume that te O-ring was swoped from the old sensor to the new one sealing it correctly?

my fault i put the clip on wrong i dont know how so when my lil sis stepped on the gas it must of built up pressure and shot out...however where as before my temp gauge actually went up, now ive fitted this no such thing lol...i think it may be my thermostat now. if anyone can answer this, my heaters get hot ish they are warm my gauge isnt going up atm but when it does it gets 1/4 way then starts to drop...does anybody else think its the thermostat? i so hope it aint the water pump  :undecided:

if it was the waterpump you'd be overheating not underheating :grin:

when you change your thermostat you can feel the water pump impellor (just stick your finger in and hook it to the left) and make sure it isn't broken up.
