coolant temperature sensor

[juniorjames]

have code 15 on my car and am looking to find a cheaper replacement than the £50 from sj sports cars.

have heard that this item from the esprit will fit for a snip of the price. Can anyone advise on this, or suggest another option?

thanks in advance

Hi Junior
Did you get the fans working by earthing the thermostat wire?

Try Rockauto - CTS is about $12.

...£50 from sj sports cars.

Rock Auto about $12.

I can never understand why they stop at £50... You’d think having got over the initial idea of selling something for 20 times its value; they’d keep going, like they do with women’s handbags.

The Intermotor 55511 is the equivalent to the GM/Isusu 8-25036979-0 quoted on WikiLEC. It is used in the Vauxhall/Opel Monterey 3.2 V6 among others.
Intermotor are part of Standard Motor Products based at Nottingham, see http://partfinder.smpeurope.com/index.h ... alue=55511 .

I got mine from Bromsgrove Motor Factors (at Worcester) for £20 inc, I am sure it will be available at other factors

Gary got his from here, http://www.discountautoparts.com/index. ... tautoparts, but we found they wanted $50 for postage, so he bought 3, & we shared them.
