Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure the engine is completely cool to avoid injury from hot, pressurized coolant.
- Locate the sensor: Typically found on the thermostat housing or the cylinder head water outlet.
- Disconnect: Unplug the 2-pin connector by gently releasing the locking tab.
- Removal: Use a 22 mm spanner to unscrew the old unit. Have a catch pan ready for minor coolant loss.
- Installation: Thread the new XTTS28 sensor in by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with the spanner.
- Bleed the System: After installation, top off your coolant and run the engine to operating temperature to bleed any trapped air from the cooling system.
Compatibility covers various Citroen, Peugeot, and Fiat models. Always cross-reference your specific OEM part number (e.g., 4837950 or 504127558) before purchase.
