Coolant Temperature sensor Connections

[Stevee182]

Hi, I've been having issues with the temp gauge not reaching the usual mid point and fluctuating when driving on my 182, so bought a new sensor. However, I was just going to replace it and noticed that the green cable into the connector has snapped off, grrr. Where do I get a new connector from? Thanks

They only have 2 wires mate, the green is just blank.

Awesome .. that's a relief!! Thanks mate

May as well change your thermostat while you're there considering you're going to lose a bit of coolant.

I had the same in mine, would sit just below the middle, changed coolant temp sensor, thermostat and thermostat housing gasket for good measure. Oh refilled with the proper type d coolant.
Probably just the sensor would've cured it, just makes sense to do a little cooling system refresh at the same time.

Not the cheapest but they are decent quality and come with the rubber seal.

I got mine from somewhere in mainland Europe on eBay, for about half what RPD were asking, unfortunately showing out of stock now though.
