Subject:which wire goes to which coolant sensor? + parting out a bus
From:Matthew
Date:Fri, 30 Apr 2004 14:57:09 -0700

So the new aaz engine i have has two coolant sensor. I
was only able to get the new cheesy plastic flanges
and not the good metal ones like yesteryears. So the
question is- what wire goes where? One sensor goes to
the engine temp gauge in the dash and the other goes
to the glow plug relay, but which one is which?

If anybody has the metal flange, please pmail me!

finally, i'm thinking about parting out an 82 diesel
vanagon. I want the specific diesel stuff (of
course!)- is anybody interested in parts?  Or does
somebody want to buy the whole thing from me? 7
passanger, mediocro shape, engine has issues (runs,
but not very well or for very far probably!) located
near me in northern idaho.
cheers
