Title: Temp sender
Post by: Chris_D on 26 April 2005, 22:37: Yesterday i changed the plastic housing on the front of the head with the hoses leading to it, obviously i had to put the temp sender on to the new one and the other sender (what is that one for?) i can hear a slight leak from around the blue one(that is the temperature one right?) when i squeeze the hose, it's not leaking water but can hear air coming from it, should these be sealed and if so how?
