1996 1.8 Temperature sender - kiss (keep it simple)
Whilst poking around the water temperature sender I noticed a second plug hanging loose. I couldn't see where this might have come out from, but Haynes manual mentions fuel injection temperature sensor. If this has indeed fallen out would the car run OK? It seems to be fine, but fuel consumption is a bit more than I might expect ( low to mid 30's per gallon) Engine is ADR

What colour are the wires to it?

Hi Screwloose, thanks for the quick reply.

I can't see the wires as they are concealed by the loom and I don't fancy ripping it apart tonight. The plug itself is blue with a pink core. I have just noticed that there is a second socket but it is covered by a blanking plug so it seems to be a design feature.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.

Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
