Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should only be performed when the engine is completely cool to prevent coolant spray or burns. Use a 22mm spanner to tighten the sensor to the manufacturer-specified torque settings to avoid stripping the M14 x 1.5 thread. Always inspect the electrical connector for corrosion or debris before plugging it into the 2-port housing. If you notice signs of coolant leaking from the sensor base, replace the copper sealing ring immediately to ensure a pressure-tight seal. Compatibility must be verified by matching the MPN 44439 with your vehicle's service manual or parts catalog.
