Hello Everyone,

 

Can I re-route the new sensor in front of the oil cooler housing as I cannot get the plug or sensor past it and think I will have to cut out the old one? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think I have found an answer to this question. The oil cooler has to come off as I cannot get access to the sensor bolt anyway... The cooler pipe is in the way... 

 

So I won't need to re-route as can fit properly after getting oil housing off. Guess I need a new gasket?

Fault code is implausible signal and wiring looks good so pretty sure it is sensor failure. Original 12 point bolt, not been replaced. 

 

Anything I need to be mindful about on this? 

Update I used a combination of 12 point 3/4 and 1/4 sockets and extension bars and the housing is now off. Bottom right is the most awkward...Also removed speed sensor ready to fit new part.  

 

I understand people reuse the bolts despite guidance to always replace... but what about the gasket. It looks undamaged imo. I guess not worth the risk for the cost.
