Hi all,

Have been looking for a few days on the forums for the location of the coolant temp sensor on a R32 gts-t.

A picture woudl be great help, but even a description of where it's located would be awesome.

Also if you could point me in the direction of the CAS (Crank angle sensor) as well.

Thanks for your help.

Don't do it man.

Can't find it can't fix it. You will probably snap it off or cross thread it It something even more mental than that.

What do you plan on doing to the cas?

How come you don't Google image search rb25 cas. It's not hidden.

But DONT DO IT. TAKE IT SOMEWHERE.

Hi

I dont really want to touch the cas as i hear you have to put it back exactly the way you found it.

It's more for future reference.

I more so want to know where the coolant temp sensor is so i can get the part number off it to buy a new one.

CAS = right side (passenger side) camshaft, grey/silver round thing with a plug on it. Has three bolts.

Temp sensor = follow the radiator hoses until you see two probe things with wires coming out of it, driver's side of the engine. The yellow plug one is the one you're after (has two pins).

Coolant temp sensor is a green plug on the drivers side of radiator.

No mate, that's the thermo switch for the aircon's thermo fan.

As posted already, just follow the top radiator hose and you'll come across both temp senders.

The single wire sender is for the dash gauge and the twin wire one is for the ecu.

Then if you're really keen, you'll find another in one of the coolant pipes at the firewall. That one is for the aircon control unit.

Crazy complicated cars these old things.

You are correct. I had a massive mental blank, no idea why I thought that was the coolant temp sensor :|

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
