Post by CREGAN »

Hey guys- quick question for you. I am changing my glow plugs and doing some general mainenance and I am trying to locate the coolant temp sensor. Which one is it?:

I also have moved the intercooler out of the way to work on these bits and bobs and I have a mystery hose that doesn't seem to have an end. Can someone identify this hose?:

Could try disconnecting and.or shorting them when the beast is running and see which one lights up the dash indicator.

Now just to identify that vac hose. Wonder what it is for and if it is supposed to be disconnected?

No, I blanked it off. I used the adapter for that vac hose and it is still there. When I was moving the intercoler out of the way I heard something drop onto the bash pans below. When I took them off to change the oil I found a little cap with a mitsubishi logo. It fit and I think with my powers of deductive reasoning and my super detective skills, I would say probelm solved. I have been wrong before. Several times in fact. :-)
