FD "Heat" Warning light

[nikp]

Sounds like a bodged job to me

Good point - i got WGT to do my decat, and i got no light either. Can\'t recal whether they pushed the sensor through or not now.

Sounds like a bodged job to me; I did exactly the same, thing - fitted a decat pipe, but i couldn\'t disconnect the sensor* because the screws were rusty, so i snapped it off. Of course, then the exhaust temp light came on, so i brought a new sensor from Jimmys and fitted that, pulled it through the car and left it connected inside resting on the floor of the car.

Job done, no warning light. :cheers

Cheers, Paul.

* the sensor is the CAT temperature sensor which is plugged into the CAT under the car.

Thnks

I will have to sort that out soon as the light just bugs me all the time..

In order to fit the new sensor you have to:

*) take the driver\'s seat out,
*) unplug the lead attached to the underside of the seat(!)
*) unscrew the boot/petrol opening lever from the right floor side,
*) pull the carpet back enough so you can see the senor (pull the carpet from the rear end of the car, its easiest)
*) unplug the sensor,
*) pull the old one through the hole in the floor,
*) plug the new one in,
*) put it back together again!

:Thumbs-up

Took me about 1.5 hours.

Cheers, Paul.

but when you plug the new one in does it have to go into the pipe or stay outside? as i have no holes in the decat pipe to plug it in??:confused:

Ah, yes - what i did was to leave the new sensor on the floor of the car under the carpet. I also used the rubber bung from the old sensor to seal up the hole in the floor.

Wierd! Was there a funny looking hole in the CAT with nothing attached to it?

Would have been a small hole - 4mm maybe, with two screw holes either side of it...

Cheers, Paul.

It is more than likely the fuel temp sensor light if you have aftermarket fuel rails fitted. :Thumbsup!

I have read about this and the easiest answer is to buy a resistor from maplins and wire it in. I think grinder or someone on here told me that.
