Title: Coolant Temperature Sensor
Post by: vic on 25 March 2010, 21:53:56

2.2 Ecotec(Y22XE) in my facelift 2000 estate auto.
I'm trying to tie up any loose ends with my investigations into my recent 'lumpy idle' problems. Today I thought I would check out the coolant temperature sensor's performance  as the car warmed up.
 Didn't do it because I can't find the thing! Doh' :-[

a)can anyone point me at it please?
&
b) has anyone done an underbonnet  layout on the four pot similar to the   Boy's on the V6?
Many thanks guys
VC :)

It's right on the back of the cylinder head. Not terribly easy to get to.

Could always pop by and slap the Tech 2 on it if it can wait until the latter part of next week?. Make sure it's reading OK?

V6Astra F thanks for the layout. Can't understand why this type of info' is so hard to track down. I would have thought it was basic info everyone needed IMHO, but it's as hard to find as the proverbial "rocking horse excrement"
Many thanks
VC :y

Kevin,
That would be great. Perhaps you could PM me with a time that fits in with you and we can set up a meet. I'll make sure you get a decent latte or cappuccino this time round. Cars running OK since I fitted a second and geniune MAF. Just yesterday though the engine was hot when we arrived at B&Q however when we came out 15 minutes later it had a tantrum and went back to the lumpy idle and the spanner light came on which lead me to suspecting a further sensor problem.
Speak soon
