Bomag Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 There are two electric sensors on the top of the water pump housing (where the radiator top hose fits) Any idea what these are for? Are they a cold start sensor or for a fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Got a piccy? Carb or EFi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 As FF says Carb or EFI ? If EFI it's possible one is the temp sensor and the other one is to cut in the aircon fans if the temp gets too hot. Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOA 93 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Vitesse and Vanden Plas were both efi, rated at 190bhp. Larger valves, hotter cam and large bore exhaust, along with Lucas flapper. Comfortably did 140mph, I put one of these engines in a Crew Cab Sherpa(tipper) and used it for work , it was taken out to 3.9 and had a 2.5 inch straight through exhaust. Sounded fab went like stink, drive every where in 5th gear, needed a much higher final drive though, used to rev out at 90mph . Happy times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
