II - REFITTING OPERATION FOR PART
CONCERNED
aRefit:
-the new seal on the coolant temperature sensor,
-the coolant temperature sensor,
-the coolant temperature sensor clip.
aConnect the coolant temperature sensor connector.
III - FINAL OPERATION.
aClip the channel to the gearbox.
aFill the cooling system (see 19A, Cooling, Cooling
system: Draining - Refilling, page 19A-9) .
aRefit the engine cover. IMPORTANT
