steve b Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi , The first pic (single wire) is engine water temp , sender is either in the thermostat hsg or maybe on the top of the head at the rear near the heater pipe , the second (2 wires) is probably for the brake fluid resevoir float switch, colours don't look right tho...... hth Cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible it is to give both options and is an extra cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible it is to give both options and is an extra cable Just for the record. Both my former 2,5 n/a and my present 2,5 td have that connector sitting unused, and no obvious sender to connect it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Then its the 2.5 petrol engine warm choke warning light switch , must be a common loom .... hopefully some one can confirm that..with the diesel it will be spare. Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Some engines have the temperature sensor in that location, so the looms have the wire. No point is different looms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrfarmer Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Thanks StevebThe green wire you said is for themostat is already connected to the top of engine as in pic. Is it possible it is to give both options and is an extra cable that wire is for the tep sender(if you have a 200TDI) if you pull it back and take the rear wire of and put that one on you tep sender it will still work. as red90 sead No point having different looms. one loom many cars.

V8 Freak Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 You lot lied.. You have been saying for years how these diseasels only need one wire to run and yet here we have proof that they in fact have loads of them. Some are like the V8 ones and then you go and have spares in case the first ones get hurt or grazed.... Next you are gonna tell me you have wiring looms, temperature sensors, Fuel gauges & ECU's I'll wager too !!! So in reality you are just trying to say they are different but don't want to admit it's just that you are 4 cylinders short.....
