Looking for Temperature Sender part number/ where to buy!

You can probably tell from the title what i'm after. Mine is Dead, please help as the local speed shop have no idea. Bursons? Repco?

Nissan had them 2yrs ago, no part number sorry. Is it dead or is the rust stopping it from working? They rust up between the brass sensor and the steel retainer, try separating them and clean with steel wool/brush.

It's dead for sure. Just found this and the price is good too.

For that price you can't go wrong

Bought mine 3 weeks ago for about $18 from Bursons. Repco was $50

[Scoota G]

Cool, how does it work? Also do you have a part number? Just for future reference of others.

I will dig up the box for the part number. It works fine, it comes as one unit not with the chrome threaded ring. Repco sells that ring as a seperate item.
Bursons have it on their listings. Took a day to get it down from Melb to Geelong

[Gareth. J.]

It's just a resistor that changes voltage output with the temp of the water, sensor is brass, threaded ring is steel, into aluminium housing= corrosion. When the corrosion gets bad enough the sensor won't earth and gauge gives no reading or very low. My first one went from being fine to giving no reading overnight, once they're cleaned up usually work fine again.

I found this link today, thanks to a tip from Dalee.
