Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
If the part number ends with 00, then it is worth changing anyway.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can someone tell me where the temperature gauge sensors is loacted, is it before the thermostat or after it, had the car overheat the other day, well the temperature gauge moved slightly above normal but steam coming from the filler bottle? The local PC has had a look at it and they say the thermostat is not fully opening to allow the coolant to flow to the rads - i would have thought that the temperature sensor would be on the engine so that if the thermosat did not open you would get some indication on the gauge.

POST 2Original post

The sensor is tucked behind the alternator, near the heat exchanger. Could it be the coolant tank cap itself? If the part number ends with 00, then it is worth changing anyway.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
