97 saxo 1.1i replacement coolant temp sensor

  1. #1
    I have seen multiple guides for changing this sensor, and I have removed the electronic cap with ease. the trouble I am having is that the sensor is extremely awkwardly places with many different large bolted on bodies around it, protruding out further than the sensor. I can not get a spanner around the ring to get him out. Basically I am looking for advice on what pipes, or housing bodies I am able to unbolt from the engine block myself, and which require the hand of an experienced mechanic.

    (I thought it should be a doddle replacing it myself, turns out its harder than it looks)

    I hope you can help guys, as the VTR engine bay pictures are very different to what I've got infront of me on my drive!

    Cheers, Joel
