hey guys,

Installing my PWR and have come across a bit of a problem. My car doesn't have a thermo fan and therefore doesn't have the ECT sensor, but the new radiator has a housing for the ECT sensor. Can anyone tell me how to seal it up? I'm thinking if i can find the size of the housing and the thread type i could just find a suitable screw and use some teflon tape. cheers guys!

You have the right idea George just a matter of getting a few screws/Bolts that look the correct size and trying them CAREFULLY until you find a good fit, we dont want to strip the thread dude.

hay there i work at a apm radiators
you should be able to find a plug that fits. and if you are thinking about replacing your radiator i also suggest an enjine flush cos any siht in the engine can block the radiator.
