Hello,

	I am at the stage of installing a coolant temperature sensor and

wiring to the coolant system on my Europa 914. 

	I am sure there are better sites onto which to install the sensor,

but I was hoping to get agreement from similar owners to fit it on the

downward coolant line running back from the reservoir on top to the radiator

directly below. I have not read the specific instructions as yet, but am

fearful of disturbing a complex area immediately behind the reservoir

because of its tight component population.

	Is it workable to take temps from the vertical coolant line?

Regards,

Ferg

Ferg,



Check my build website at Europa Owners.  Go to  Year #7, Q1 2008, page 1 for pics and words on the installation of my coolant temperature sensor.  I believe that this is where the factory recommends installing the sensor.  I'm sure that anywhere along the line from the coolant manifold down to the radiator will do if you prefer not to disassemble all the plumbing and other assorted hardware on the upper aft of the engine.  Do remember that you may have to work on this thing again at some point in the future.  Back behind the engine on the vertical line may be a difficult location to access.



Good building and great flying,

Bob Borger

Hi! Ferg

The sensor MUST be at the hottest common point in the system and this

must be just after the header tank (which receives the coolant from each

cylinder head on top of the engine) and before the radiator intake.

Which I think is the same place that you are proposing.
