Guest Benji78 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hi all, Can anyone tell me whereabouts the ETC sensor on a mk5 escort is?? Thanks Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lee81 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Depends on the engine. CVH has a sender mounted in the block to right hand side of the exhuast manifold. This operates the dash reading. Also has a thermoswitch in the water thermostat housing which operate the fan. Zetec had a sensor again in the thermostat housing and also one in the top coolent hose to the right of the engine bay. think the hose one is again for the fans and the other is ecu and dash reading.

Guest Tuft Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Zetec engines have two temp sensors. They are both mounted to the thermostat housing. The sensor on the top is for the ECU and the difficult one to get at underneath is the sender for the temp gauge on the dash. They have different types of plugs so can't be confused.

Guest Lee81 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Must be some variance between models as my Gti has just one which operates the dash and ecu. When it started to fail it messed with the fueling and dash gauge was going back forth from hot to cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Benji78 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks for response all, looking to change the one at the top of the thermostat housing hopefully solve the problem (fingers crossed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
