Auto Box Oil Temperature

<< < (2/3) > >>

BigA:
checked the connection to the sensor today, and it was well and truly packed with Billing mud, the cover for it looked nice from outside, but a different story when i slipped it off.

Removed the sensor and gave it and the connecting leads a good clean. Reconnected and the light no longer comes on on my dashboard. Now to see how it goes over the next few days.

Thanks for all help.

Sorry to jump in hear.

But I need to check if my auto box temp sensor is working, because when i have towed a fully loaded trailer up hills, i get a real hot smell form the gear box.

i know the bulb is working as i have tested it.
what i would like to know is...

How easy is it to get the sensor out?

was there any loss of fluid?

Can you test the sensor?

and at what temp does the light come on?

hope some one can help.

Thanks in advance.

BigA:
The sensor was easy enough to get out, it screws in the the pipework, and yes there was some fluid loss, but not a great deal, and i was able to stop it by wrapping a rag around the pipe after removing the censor, whilst i cleaned it up.

Not sure if it can be tested or at what temperature it should come on sorry.

Good luck

Andy

big tim:

smith335:
