escort rs turbo tempiture sender Why is there so meny colours what are you guys running mine is purple It says its hot very fast and the engine is still just warm my mate has a blue one on his and seems to run right on the dial
no mean to hijack, but iv just been connecting plugs etc to my engine and i needed that info in the pic, but just noticed that the grey plug temp one, i havent got one lol, also would that mean that the plug on the loom that connects to it is grey?

Yes, its a different connector/shape to the others on the back of the engine so you cant get that one mixed up.
Turbocat - according to the information on here...
Everyones saying all these different colours n the one from burton is yellow. this sensors causing havoc on my RST, start problems the lot need one quicktime.

Thats got nothing to do wit hthe temp sensor for the dash guage!Regards,mIcky
Right so which one is for the gauge the one on the back of the engine with the cold start or the one on the front. coz the lad that had car before me has just got a single wire going to the one at the front of the engine and it is just reading max heat all the time. any help??
it was always pink, they may have changed it. It really doesn't matter as the gauge isn't calibrated. If it runs 1/4 way normally, and it shoots up to 3/4 - you know u have an issue.
mines got a clear cap on it, not an original ford part, but the bloke i was talkin says it doesnt matter shit what colour they are as long as its the same sensor!! and hey its worked for me ide rather pay £6 n it works than huntin round payin£10-£30 per sensor till i get the right one, ill update if it goes tits up lol but its bin on all day today drove car about n give it some beans n car was fine n gauge was faultless
The temperature gauge sender on mine is original. It has a spade terminal, although some cars may have the round pin. The 'blade' sender should have a mauve insulator. Half way between pink and pale blue. Mine runs about 40% range normally, with the fan coming on at about 75% range. It was nearer the top but I put a lower temperature fan switch in to deal with more queues nowadays.
Mine is Black!
The first one I bought as a replacement last year had the gauge reading high and swapped it out for the current one which is black.
I think the colours are irrelevant unless they are all from the same manufacturer.
I matched the cold resistance of the current one with the original but can’t remember what I was. I will measure it tomorrow and reply.
Done some testing this morning.
you need this resistance at ambient (currently around 8c in my garage. This will make the gauge read normal. Unfortunately I can’t remember where I got it from but they stated the resistance in the specification so I knew it was correct compared to my original. My previous sensor.
This will make the gauge read hot.
