Helmut,
I was able to do the replacement prior to your reply. I did remove the cap to relieve pressure (there was none) and I made sure that the engine was cold (left it overnight). The only thing is that only the black one pole sensor (temp. sender) had an aluminum washer. The one I removed had it and so did the replacement part. The blue sensor (2 pole coolant sensor) didn't have it on both the original part I took out nor on the replacement part I put in. So I just put it in without the washer.
Everything's okay now. It doesn't overheat because the auxiliary fans kick in on cue and the temp gauge is working again. It registers between 80-100 in mixed city and highway driving with ambient temperature of 26-61 celcius.
I also have watter wetter in the radiator...
Thanks.
