Where’s the oil temp. sensor on a valver

[Sami]

Think its faulty, but no idea where it is :S

oil temp switch is alongside the dipstick it is the same sender for oil temp and oil level and is a b**ch to get too unless u remove radiator. check the wiring could be a broken wire like mine was

thats the biggest pile of sh*t i have read all morning! the oil temp sender is located just to the left of the oil filter as you look at it it will be a green plug that plugs into a white one, it just undos with a socket or a spanner (quite a big one but cant remember how big) the sender you are referring to is the oil level sender which is next to the dipstick

 

[sams_clio]

think u should do ur homework rich 1.2 oil temp and level is on one sender located next to the dipstick on all clio 16v engines ive seen lol

 

[Rich1.2]

Ok so where is it exactly?

I cant even see the oil filter! the engine is so crammed at the front, how do you get to it??

What these guys said - its to the left of the oil filter on the front of the block.

Youll get to the oil filter/sensor from undernieth the front. Alternatively, take the bonnet off, slam panel off - youll then be able to pull the radiator forward enough to get access between it and the inlet manifold. If your radiator has a plastic shrowd, pull that out too while youre working.
