A high-quality water (coolant) temperature sensor, which screws into the thermostat housing. Its purpose is to accurately measure the coolant temperature and transmit this information to the gauge on the operator's dashboard. It is a key component of the engine's early warning system against overheating, which protects it from serious and costly failure.
OEM quality product – guarantees a perfect fit and parameters identical to the original part.
| Brand (Machine Type) | Model |
|---|---|
| JCB (Backhoe Loaders) | 2CX, 3CX, 4CX (with Perkins Tier 2 engines, approx. 2001-2005) |
| JCB (Telehandlers) | Loadall (with Perkins Tier 2 engines) |
| JCB (Wheel Loaders) | Various models with Perkins Tier 2 engines |
The list above is for reference. It is crucial to ensure that your machine is fitted with a Perkins Tier 2 engine (RE, RJ, RG codes).
Before replacing the sensor, ensure the engine is cold to avoid burns from hot coolant. The cooling system may be under pressure – unscrew the filler cap slowly and carefully to release it. Use safety glasses and gloves.
Replacing the sensor is a perfect opportunity to check the condition of the coolant. If it is old or contaminated, replace it with new, high-quality HYPTRON coolant, which will provide optimal cooling and protect the system from corrosion.
The temperature sensor is a key component of the engine protection system. Its failure can lead to a lack of information about the engine overheating, which can result in a blown head gasket or even a seized engine.
Replace the sensor if:
A faulty sensor risks engine seizure.
The cost of replacing a sensor is negligible compared to an overhaul of an overheated engine. Protect your machine from the worst-case scenario – order a new GX-OEM sensor today and be sure you will always know about a problem in time.
In most cases, yes. However, the cause could also be a damaged electrical wire, connector, or the gauge itself on the dashboard. It is worth checking the circuit for continuity before replacement.
2. How can I test if my old sensor is faulty?You can do this with a multimeter by measuring the sensor's resistance at different temperatures (e.g., in cold water and boiling water). The resistance should change smoothly. If there is no change or the circuit is open, the sensor is faulty.
3. Does this sensor fit newer JCB DieselMax engines?No. This model is dedicated to Perkins Tier 2 engines. JCB DieselMax engines use different sensors with other part numbers and parameters.
