Normski 1 Posted May 6, 2007 The water sensors on this are on the thermostat housing near the distributor, follow the top radiator hose back. There's a green connector, and a red connector ones for the gauge reading the others for the high temp warning light not sure which is which. There's also a blue connector which is the coolant temperature sensor for the Ecu. Near the alternator is the sensors for the oil pressure, one is the gauge reading and the other is the low pressure warning. Oil temp is on the back of the sump.

ashlee205gti 1 Posted May 7, 2007 Earth the wire to the body of the car then look at the gauges, you will soon figure out which is which. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
