Can someone tell me where the water temp sensor is located? The car's an 83 300D OM617 engine. If the sensor is the sensor-like thing near the thermostat housing, how can one remove the connector without breaking it? My 83 sedan is sedately reading a little over eighty C but will occasionally go over 100C, today it hit 110C but the guage was jumping all over the place. I am planning to change the temp pickup then check the guage when I fix the dash lights. Figure the sensor and it's wiring aught to be checked too.
The fuel guage it flicking a little too, could all this be related? Does the fuel guage and temp guage share a ground???
Thanks Much.
