>>B<< ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE 
SENSOR INSTALLATION

1. Apply the specified sealant to the thread of the engine 

coolant temperature sensor.

Specified Sealant: ThreeBond 1324N or equivalent

NOTE: Install the engine coolant temperature sensor imme-
diately after applying sealant.

CAUTION

After the installation, until a sufficient period of time (one 
hour or more) elapses, do not apply the oil or water to the 
sealant application area or start the engine.

2. Use special tool MB992042 to tighten the engine coolant 

temperature sensor to the specified torque.

clamp. Disconnect the radiator upper hose.

2. Break off the tip of hose clip claw and spread out the hose 

clip.
NOTE: If there is a hose clip claw, the hose clip cannot 
spread to capacity because the claw contacts the hose clip.

3. Disconnect the radiator upper hose.

.

<<B>> ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE 
SENSOR REMOVAL

Use special tool MB992042 to remove the engine coolant tem-
perature sensor.
