WTD Zetec coolant sensor
Lars - 21/5/11 at 06:38 PM

I have just managed to brake my coolant sensor, and was hoping someone might have a spare.

It is the grey sensor that screws into the top of the thermostat housing. (I think 1.8 and 2.0 are the same)

I have had a quick look on ebay and they only seem to have a non screw in type, not sure why this is, but sure those wont fit.


Any help would be much appreciated. Cash waiting.

I have a blacktop push in type but you need a silvertop version. Your friendly auto factors should be able to help.

It is definitely a blacktop (one of the very first in 1998)

Sensor looks like the push in type, see below, but with a thread

Kinda, the plug is the right shape, but the thread looks too big.

looking for something with the plug in the picture, but the sensor/thread of the other one.

May get in touch with the seller and ask about thread size.

Just been out to garage and it looks like thread size is 7/16"

Ahh yes , that looks like it could fit.

If you can get the engine code it maybe worth a check!!

I think that one is push in

Might see if the first one you showed me fits tho. its a third of the price

Thanks for the links though, excellent source of info

Looks threaded to me and has the socket on of the first one, think you need to get the engine code mate to be sure.

Tis a good site though.
