-the seal housing in the water chamber,
-the seal mating face of the coolant temperature
sensor if reused.
II - REFITTING OPERATION
aRefit:
-the coolant temperature sensor fitted with a new
seal,
-the coolant temperature sensor clip.
aConnect the coolant temperature sensor connector. IMPORTANT
The circuits are designed to be pressurised, so be
careful at high temperatures (risk of serious burns).
Do not remove the cap from the expansion bottle
while the engine is hot.
Take care when carrying out a repair under the bon-
net, as the radiator fan(s) may start to operate with-
