FAQs

What is the main function of a coolant temperature sensor?

The coolant temperature sensor measures the temperature of the engine's coolant and sends this information to the engine control unit (ECU). The ECU uses this data to manage fuel injection, ignition timing, and cooling fan operation, ensuring optimal engine performance and preventing overheating.

Which Ford models is the febi bilstein 01805 compatible with?

This sensor is compatible with a range of Ford models including Courier, Escort, Fiesta, Mondeo, Orion, and Sierra.

What are the thread size and spanner size for this sensor?

The sensor features an M10 x 1 outer thread and requires a spanner size of 12 for installation.

What OEM part numbers does this sensor replace?

It replaces Ford part numbers 6145143 and 86VB10884BA.

What warranty is provided with this part?

febi bilstein offers a 3-year manufacturer's guarantee on this coolant temperature sensor.

Can I install this sensor myself?

Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and the correct tools. If you are not comfortable working on your vehicle's cooling system, it is recommended to have a professional mechanic perform the installation.

What happens if the coolant temperature sensor fails?

A failed sensor can lead to inaccurate temperature readings, causing issues such as poor fuel economy, rough idling, engine overheating or undercooling, and illumination of the Check Engine light.

Troubleshooting

Engine temperature gauge reads too high or too low immediately after installation.

Ensure the sensor is correctly installed and fully seated. Verify the electrical connector is securely attached. Check if the correct coolant mixture was used and the system was properly bled of air.

Check Engine light remains on after installation.

Confirm the sensor is the correct part number for your vehicle. Ensure the electrical connector is clean and undamaged. Scan the vehicle's OBD-II system for specific trouble codes which may indicate a wiring issue or a faulty new sensor.

Coolant leaks from the sensor port.

The sensor may not be tightened sufficiently or the thread sealant may be inadequate. Remove the sensor, inspect the threads, apply new thread sealant if necessary, and reinstall, torquing to specification.

Poor engine performance or rough idling.

A faulty or incorrectly installed temperature sensor can affect fuel mixture. Re-check installation steps and ensure the sensor is functioning correctly by monitoring live data with a diagnostic tool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This sensor is designed for specific Ford models including Courier, Escort, Fiesta, Mondeo, Orion, and Sierra. Always verify compatibility with your vehicle's make, model, year, and engine type before installation. It replaces OEM part numbers 6145143 and 86VB10884BA.

Setup and Installation:

  1. Safety First: Ensure the engine is completely cool before beginning. Disconnect the vehicle's battery.
  2. Locate Sensor: Identify the existing coolant temperature sensor, typically found in the cylinder head or thermostat housing.
  3. Disconnect Wiring: Carefully unplug the electrical connector from the old sensor.
  4. Remove Old Sensor: Use an appropriate wrench (spanner size 12) to unscrew the old sensor. Be prepared for a small amount of coolant to escape.
  5. Prepare New Sensor: Apply a small amount of thread sealant (if not pre-applied) to the threads of the new febi bilstein sensor. Do not overtighten.
  6. Install New Sensor: Screw the new sensor into the port until snug, then tighten with the wrench to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification. Do not overtighten.
  7. Reconnect Wiring: Plug the electrical connector firmly into the new sensor.
  8. Refill Coolant: If significant coolant was lost, top up the system with the correct type of coolant mixture.
  9. Reconnect Battery: Reconnect the vehicle's battery.
  10. Test: Start the engine and check for leaks. Monitor the temperature gauge and diagnostic codes.

Care:

  • This is a non-serviceable part. Regular checks of your cooling system are recommended.
  • Ensure coolant levels are maintained as per your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.
  • Keep the sensor and its electrical connection clean and free from debris.
