FRST water temp sensor

Problem or technical question?

FRST water temp sensor

Postby BOBFRST on Sat May 03, 2014 3:30 am

Does anyone have an idea what size the FRST water temp sensor on the bottom of the inlet manifold is? Im trying to get mine O.T.F & the ladys not for moving :lol: but the new replacement I have is 24mm & the old 1 appears to be bigger at around 26mm & ive no spanner that size & don't want to buy the incorrect size. Anyone any ideas? :D

Are you still feckin about with that its only 5 nuts to take of the top of the inlet and you will get it off with a spanner or those horrible udjustable fukn things
I did think it was a 27 Bob but i spent a tenner on that and it wasnt lol so out with the mole grips you will be better kepping the sensor as they have colour codes on them as well as different threads going in to the many
