THX Neil, I was resigned to finding a "good" used part but that too was almost impossible to find due to it's location on the transmission...& 1.5-2 hrs to access IF you have the tools for pick-n-pull.scot850 wrote: ↑03 Nov 2017, 23:47 Unfortunately although some places still list it (like pelican parts) many don't update their systems until someone asks for the part and even then they sometimes don't.
Looks like it will have to be a used part unfortunately. The later 5-speed auto does not list a temp. sensor at all. We are finding more parts becoming obsolete every day. I tried looking up the part on gcp.se (they bought all the pre-2000 stocks of parts from Volvo (and known as Volvo classic), but again it is not listed. Like you I can't find an aftermarket part either.

Liquid electrical tape (not sure if that is a brand name) works great though I wouldn't use it in the house personally. I also carry either a butane soldering iron or some soldering paste, a lighter and some various heat shrink tubing. I prefer the solder paste over the soldering iron as it takes less time to perform a repair. Torch lighters are ideal for this purpose as they almost never get blown out in the blowing white stuff...scot850 wrote: ↑04 Nov 2017, 12:18 That is great news and it is even better when you get great service and support from a MVS sponsor as well. We need to get that type of info out there and support the companies that support us enthusiasts. Glad you go the part and at a good price.
I was thinking about this some more, and when you get bared wires like that in an awkward spot, has anyone tried the liquid plastic sealer you get for house wiring if you find a nicked or bared wire. It is flexible and should seal and support some wires especially where they get frayed near the ends.
