Sender location for coolant temp? [Tiico]

[Paulbeard]

On a related note to my earlier query about the oil pressure sender, would this be where a coolant temp sender would go?

I didn't examine it too closely, as clumsy as I seem to be today. Would it just be the same screw fitting inside or do I need some sort of adapter?

A temp sensor could go in that hole where the bung is. Just need an appropriately sized o ring or even re use whats on the bung.

Is that not a temp sensor as shown? Or is that for the AC?

On my Tiico engine the temperature sensor in your picture is actually two temperature sensors. One that goes to the ecu. The other one goes to the temperature gauge. In my case the ecu temperature sensor is used and I have a separate temperature sensor on the water outlet going to the heater core where it was when it was a diesel van. Another temperature sensor could go in that extra hole in your picture as well. John

On my ALH install I just used the exact same temp sender as was on my WBX. It fit into an opening much like that one.

The 1.9 WBX and Syncros used the threaded senders, but the 2WD 2.1s had the o-ring type senders. I think you might get more value from an oil temp gauge to augment the stock coolant gauge.

Pics of my Tiico/Audi 3A: the sensor and o ring simply plug in and clip.
