BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* engine coolant temperature sensor for Volvo S60, V40, V60 and XC60 with the 1.6L/2.0L GTDi T4/T5 turbo-four.

A failing coolant sensor on the GTDi turbo-four sends the wrong signal to the ECU, which can flag a false overheat warning, cause hard cold starts, or trigger reduced power/limp mode. This direct-fit replacement restores an accurate reading so the ECU can manage fuelling, timing and turbo boost correctly. Same-day dispatch before 12pm from Cranbourne VIC.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The engine coolant temperature sensor measures coolant temperature and reports it to the ECU, which uses the reading to control fuel injection, ignition timing and turbo boost strategy.

The B4164T and B4204T GTDi engines fitted to the S60, V40, V60 and XC60 share the same turbo-four architecture used in Land Rover's Si4 engine, and on this platform a tired sensor commonly shows up as a false overheat warning or the fan running after the car is switched off.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Check Engine Light on, often with fault code P0116 or P0128
False overheating warning on the dash
Reduced power or limp mode
Cooling fan runs constantly or after engine shutoff
Hard starting when cold

How do I test a coolant temperature sensor?

The most common test is to measure the sensor resistance with a multimeter at a known coolant temperature and compare against the manufacturer resistance curve. A cold engine (20 degrees C) typically reads 2,000 to 3,000 ohms and drops to around 200 to 300 ohms at operating temperature (90 degrees C). An OBD2 scanner showing a fixed temperature reading that does not change as the engine warms up is also a strong indicator of sensor failure.

Can a faulty coolant temperature sensor cause my engine to overheat?

Indirectly yes. If the sensor reports a lower temperature than actual, the ECU may not activate the cooling fan at the correct time, allowing the engine to overheat. It can also suppress the dashboard warning light, meaning you may not be alerted until the engine is already at a dangerously high temperature. Replace a suspected faulty sensor promptly.

Do I need to drain the coolant to replace the sensor?

Not always - many coolant temperature sensors can be replaced quickly with minimal coolant loss if you work fast and have a replacement ready to thread in immediately. However on some vehicles the sensor location requires partial coolant drainage. Check the sensor position on your specific engine before starting. Always use fresh coolant when topping up after replacement.

What are the symptoms of a faulty coolant temperature sensor?

Symptoms include poor fuel economy, black smoke, engine overheating warning, incorrect temperature gauge reading, hard starting when cold, and rough idle. Fault codes P0115 to P0119 are commonly associated with coolant temperature sensor faults.

Is it safe to drive with a bad coolant temperature sensor?

A faulty coolant temperature sensor can cause the ECU to run rich fuel mixtures and prevent the cooling fan from operating correctly, risking engine overheating. Replace it promptly - it is a low-cost part that can prevent expensive engine damage.

How do I know if my coolant temperature sensor or my thermostat is faulty?

A faulty thermostat typically causes the engine to overheat or never reach operating temperature. A faulty coolant temp sensor causes incorrect gauge readings and running issues but the coolant itself may be at the correct temperature. An OBD2 scanner showing live coolant temp data helps distinguish between the two.

Are there two coolant temperature sensors on my vehicle?

Many vehicles have two sensors - one for the ECU (engine management) and one for the dashboard temperature gauge. They look similar but are not interchangeable. Check your vehicle's service manual or contact us with your vehicle details to confirm which sensor you need.
