Richw911 Question for you Re temp sensor
« on: 16 July 2012, 19:11 »
I'm being a bit of a tard !

Re replacing the temp sensor how does the plug come off ?

I can't see any of the normal clips etc and don't want to give it some welly just to pull it off just in case I break it. Am I missing something as its pretty dark in my garage and my light has blown ugh.

Hope you can help

Cheers

Is it one of those gay clips that you have to push in slightly before pulling off?  :undecided:

Push the plug in a little to break the seal then use your finger nail (or small hex key) to lift the tap and pull the plug off
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Thanks for the advice but I'm not with you on the lift the tap bit.

From what I could see there is nothing to push in etc on the plug like you would normally expect.
