Coolant Temp Sender Location - '93 Legacy NA Wagon

Post by frood »

Hey gang.

Vehicle:
1993 Subaru Legacy Wagon

Problem:
Bought a coolant temp sender (aka, little brass thing) to replace one that may be faulty, and cannot find where it is located. I -had- the chiltons manual, but cannot find it. Anyone with a picture or through description of location encourcaged to help. =)

Thanks a ton,

There's a water manifold underneath the intake manifold. It goes from the front passenger-side corner (where the upper radiator hose attaches) to the rear driver-side corner (where a heater hose attaches). The coolant temperature sender and sensor are threaded into this water manifold on the passenger side. The one with a single spade terminal is the sender for the gauge, and the one with a brown 2-pin connector is the sensor for the ECU.

Great; I got the pics I needed from that SUBY manual site. Great resource, to be sure. I'll plop it in while I'm replacing valve cover gaskets, the pass side axle, and the spark plugs.

Awesome place run by a pleasant guy who sells rebuilt CV axles for $55.00 +~10.00 shipping.
