Naand Andries, ek is nou nie n expert nie maar die pyp wat bo uit die engine uit kom is die een wat onder in die radiator in gaan. Nou daai is die "warm" water so ek sou se sit hom daar. Ek het my thermo switch laat inbou onder in my Radiator. :thumbup: Hoop dit help.

Haai. Onder die boonste coil is daar 'n bruin temp sender unit wat so half as 'n backup funksioneer. As jy aftermarket ecu gebruik is hy nie nodig nie. Dis die een met die bruin kop en plug.
Hy staan skuins vorentoe. Jy kan hom vervang met 'n eclin FS112. Dit is'n Nissan fanswitch. Sy skroefdraad pas perfek. En hy skakel op die regte temp aan en af.
Hoop dit help.

Ek sou ook sê onder want as jou termostat nie oopmaak bly jou boonste pyp koud, dus as hy bo is kan jou enjin oorverhit sonder dat die naald optel.
As ek kyk na karre soos die Golfies en goed sit hulle skakelaars almal op die onderste tenk.

Hello Andries.
Sorry to change the subject a bit. Did you perhaps take photo's of your conversion, especially the engine mouting mod. How does one go about the change. What brackets and mountings did you use. My conversion starts in 2weeks time so I'm doing my homework.

Thanks for the tip on the thermo switch as this was also a question I had.

Enjoy your evening.

Thermo switch moet wees waar die warm verkoeler vloeistof (coolant) van die enjin af ingaan in die verkoeler in. Gewoonlik is dit onder.
