FAQs
What are the activation temperatures?
The switch activates at 97 °C and shuts off at 92 °C.
Does it come with a sealing washer?
Yes, it is designed for use with a standard sealing washer to prevent coolant leaks.
What tool do I need for installation?
You will need a 29 mm spanner to tighten or remove the switch.
Is this compatible with my vehicle?
Verify your vehicle against OEM references 126426, 126437, 126440, or 96138637.
Can I use this in an engine that runs hotter than 97 °C?
No, this switch is specifically calibrated for these temperature thresholds and should not be used in systems requiring different activation points.
How often should I check the switch?
Inspect the electrical connection during every routine coolant service or whenever you notice the engine temperature gauge reading higher than normal.
Troubleshooting
Fan does not activate at 97 °C
Check the electrical connector for oxidation and verify that the relay and fuse for the radiator fan are functioning correctly.
Fan remains stuck in the 'on' position
Disconnect the switch; if the fan stops, the switch contacts are likely welded closed and the unit must be replaced.
Coolant leaking from the switch threads
Ensure the sealing washer is present and the switch is tightened to the correct torque specification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the engine is completely cool to prevent burns from pressurized hot coolant. Drain a small portion of the cooling system, unscrew the old unit using a 29 mm spanner, and replace it with the XEFS231. Ensure the threads are clean before installation. After replacing the switch, top up the coolant and bleed the system of any trapped air.
This unit is compatible with various cross-references including CALORSTAT by Vernet TS1628, FACET 7.5145, FAE 37580, and HELLA 6ZT 007 801-051. Always check for corrosion on the electrical harness connector during setup to ensure consistent signal transfer.
