Thread: V8 coolant temp sender part number

Hi Scouse.

You were right. There is definately only one ETC8496 as the part that turned up today was a single prong temp gauge sensor. So as you mentioned in the PM there must be two temp gauge sensor types. One up to end of LA and one MA and onwards.

the part that turned up today was a single prong temp gauge sensor.

That sounds like the one for the Dash Temp Gauge & it feeds to Earth.

That's right 4bee. The single connection sensor is the temp gauge on the dash. Just beside the ECU coolant temp sensor on the MA. Not sure where it is on the LA.

Hope your arm isn't too bad Jessie. I assume that relates to your surgery from 1-2 years back?

Just to add another to your list

I bought this one from FWD Spares in Yeerongpilly.

At least you have a lot of spares now !!

Just a point on tuning the AFM.
I do not think you can do it by comparing resistances.
I think you need some sort of CO analyser, or a vacuum gauge.
Every engine will be different with different wear rates of the injectors etc, so the AFM should be set to get a result, not set to a spec and hope the result falls out.

Even on the RH rocker cover of my 3.9 ( which I read yesterday while changing the valley gasket), It says that the AFM mixture should be adjusted to meet the emission compliance requirements, In this case 1% CO, which is much leaner than max vacuum..

I set mine to max vacuum the other day. as yet I do not have a reliable reading of whether my economy is better or worse.

BUt my trusty old Colortune showed blue flame in the chambers at all vacuums and AFM pot settings, so the AFM is only a trimmer so will not affect economy greatly.

I have a big box of new parts
Brake pads
A frame ball joint
Heaps of bushes
Heaps of seals
Belt
Coolant temp sensor

I figure that since Land Rover parts aren't usually just a quick trip down the shop on Saturday morning that I should have my own stock.
