The dealer wanted $480 to fix my glow plug/relay/temp sensor problem. I told them I was having none of that and went and got my car back. I followed Wingnut's Glow Plug 101 guide and so far have ruled out ALL the plugs, the relay, the fuse, and most likely the harness, basically everything they wanted to fix. Total cost to me = $0.
I'm basically down to replacing the coolant temp sensor. I've read about pulling it quick, putting in the new one and then topping off the coolant, that's fine, my problem is where is it? Is it the one Wingnut points out in his guide? If it is I don't see how you can do that very quickly, it is behind and under the coolant plugs and alot of stuff is in the way. If it is this plug, does anyone have suggestions as to how to make that area more easily accessable? How do you pull it, is there a clip or anything holding it in, or does it just yank out? If it is not this plug, can some one point out the one I am suppose to pull? This is my first car and I'm still learning where everything is at under there....
One more thing, I heard the C.T.S. was $6, what's a good price for G12 and do I need to go to the d(st)ealer for both or can I pick the stuff up at a CarQuest or someplace similar? (I live in MPLS)
Thanks in advance guys.
