Zafira 2.2 changing CTS

sampsan

Hi, my CTS is reading very low and am looking at changing.

Any tips to make this easier, have found tucked at the back of the engine but cant appear to get the electrical plug off to enable me to remove, does not help that have my hands tucked where I cant see what am doing? Any ideas.

Also my inlet air temp also appears low on live data from my scanner, is this a combined unit with the MAF sensor or separate?

Is a 2006 Zafira Z22YH engine.

Thanks in advance

a 19mm deep socket makes it easier (y)

the cable is held on with a clip, simply lift the lower edge with a suitable screwdriver / tool (or use your finger nail if you are feeling brave)

Thanks, managed to get out in the end and change. Access would be great if the engine was not so far back and the bulkhead in the way.

Even after changing still showing low temps on the datastream for the IAT and CTS, not sure what is going on with these now.
