Jonic Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Broken COOLANT sensor So I was removing my Coolant Temperature sensor to replace it with a new one and when I took it off it was snapped in half. I tried to get tweezers to get the other half out and it just fell in. Should I leave it or try and get it out even though I can't feel it anymore????????? Would it be a problem ??

niZmO_Man Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Don't feel too bad. I once dropped a coil pack bolt into my R32. Couldn't find it after spending half an hour looking for it (including magnetic bolt picker into the cylinder chamber). Fired it up, ting ting ting, bye bye stock turbine wheel. Engine spat the broken bolt out with worry though lol. Was a good time for a NEO6 turbo. Sadly my dad wrapped that car around a pole a couple of months later . Engine now lives in a pillarless R31.

Jonic Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Dam that's not good to hear, I think I broke it cause it's hard starting my car now and once the car is warmed up and I shut it off and start the car again it revs up to 2000rpm like it's cold when the engine is actually already warm Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/468235-broken-coolant-sensor/#findComment-7802609 Share on other sites More sharing options...

r32-25t Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Aren't they right near the radiator hose? Take the hose off and have a look inside, provided you haven't started it then it shouldn't have gone anywhere Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/468235-broken-coolant-sensor/#findComment-7802662 Share on other sites More sharing options...

niZmO_Man Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I had a picture of the bits of bolt and the turbine pulled from the cat somewhere, lost it by now.
