I just had my friend check a fault on the dash I thought was for my butchered exhaust but it's actually fault 17704 "error in mapped cooling system (check temperature sensor and thermostat)". Seeing as im doing the thermostat I thought id do the coolant temp sensor as well while I'm in there. Does anyone know which colour I want? On eBay I've seen green, blue and grey??

Thanks.

Yeah, get the thermostat and coolant sender done at the same time. Not alot on money and save you the hassle.

I think its the green one that the new one when I did mines. I had the old black one.

Someone may want to clairify on the colours.

I phoned TPS and he said he thinks the green is the sensor and the grey is the switch but sounded pretty far from sure so it would be nice to know before I buy

Thanks.
