Guest Anonymous Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 replace it with a temp sender, anyone else done this, ? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 are senders usually near the top rather than bottom? I may be recoring soon and wondered about a sender hole added and the overflow tube on the right instead of left. comments? The overflow is so I can add an overflow tank, which doesn't fit easily on the left side, but adds a little cooling capacity. jenglandiii at yahoo dot com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Hi Russell- What about using the tii or 320i water neck. It has a second bung for a sending unit as I recall.... Not sure what you're up to, so.... Just a thought- Adios Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 I had my radiator recored and at the same time added a drain cock instead of the drain bolt. That way I can attach a hose and drain neatly. But, still, I couldn't tell you what the thread size is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just replaced the stock idiot light sender with my autometer one... using a 320i 0r 318i neck would allow you to keep stock and add a second water temp gauge. -Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 that is stock location for the temp sender plug. So, I guess BMW thought that location was accurate enough to trigger an aux fan. I have it in my Sahara, and the switch turns the aux fan on at 2/3.. right when I think it should. I also have a manual toggle in cockpit to use fan before 2/3 level is reached, or as back-up to auto switch.But, using 2002 temp sender location is also a good idea./// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 you'll have to find a sender unit (like from a VW Rabbit), cut the threaded fitting out of the radiator and solder it into yours... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
