Good morning all.
I have a 1999 v5 150. Recently the temperature gauge has been very erratic, sometimes reading 90, sometimes 60, sometimes 0 and sometimes in between.
The water level in the filler tank is constant, so no leaks anywhere.
I have purchased a new temperature sensor (sender?), but for the life of me can't find where it's fitted. I have searched the forums but the only clear images I can find are for 1.6 or 1.8 Ibiza's or Leon's.
Is it installed into the engine block, about 4 or 5 inches to the right of the oil dipstick? That's the only place I've seen something that looks similar?
Also, the throttle seems to stick slightly, could this be related the problem above, or more likely a MAF problem?
Many thanks in advance for any help.
Scott.
