Can someone please take a photo of where their temp sender unit is that is connected to to gauge , I can't find it anywhere in mine , ime running a 2.5 fiat ducato td , thanks in advance ,

Type 'eper' to Google. That puts you through to the trade parts finder for Fiat. Go to 'spares', and type in your vin number. That opens a box containing your complete vehicle details. From there, you can select any parts on your engine, part numbers, and location.
Very handy bit of kit. :thumb:

Give me a shout if you get stuck.

 

[nunny666]

Great thanks for reply I will give that a go, appreciated

Tootles , well I never people had been saying it was in engine block or by the thermostat housing but looking at the diagram on the site above its actually in the radiator , cheers buddy

 

[Tootles]

Are you sure??? There is a temp switch built into the rad half way down, that controls the fans coming on.

 

[Tootles]

Look under section 'WATER PUMP AND LINES', numbers 24 and 25 are, I think, the temp gauge sender unit(s), looks as though it screws into the thermostat housing, and should have a sender wire coming from it.

It dosent seem to matter, Mike, once you enter your VIN number, most of the boxes are closed for you anyway. I left mine on 'DX', ticked to 'code', not 'engine'. Just check that your chassis number has been entered correctly, its the last 8 (I think) of your VIN code.
Interesting point, original engine number comes up. Fiat built their engines with an engine ID plate held onto the block by a rivet. It corrodes, then the plate falls off, so this is a great way of finding a number if your V5 has a block casting number, instead of an engine number, as mine has.
Also, clock the prices they want for original spares.....

SX / DX are probably abbreviations for left and right hand drive. Italian left is Sinistra and right is Dirotto :thumb:
