91 940 Turbo wgn Coolant temp sensor

Post by zoomduck »

I thought I saw photos of the location of this sensor on this site . I keep searching but can not find them again . I have a new sensor - Bosch # 0280130032 (1346030) with blade type connectors . The sensor I found on the head has round connectors . Am I looking at the wrong sensor on the engine ? Is it further back under the manifold ? Is it a blade type ? Thank you .

If you can see it, its the wrong one.
The only way to get at it is pull the intake manifold back a few inches, so get an intake gasket and throttle body gasket too.
I think I removed the idle control motor also.

Some wobbler extensions make removing the intake manifold 13mm nuts easier,

put a couple wraps of teflon tape around the threads to prevent the sensor from leaking coolant.
