A high-quality water (coolant) temperature sensor, which screws into the cylinder head. 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.
GX-AFTER is the smart choice for your machine. We provide high-class replacement parts that combine excellent quality with an attractive price. Each part is carefully verified to ensure full compatibility and reliability you can depend on.
| Brand (Machine Type) | Model |
|---|---|
| JCB (Backhoe Loaders) | 2CX, 2DX, 3CX, 4CX (with Perkins engines pre-2005) |
| JCB (Telehandlers) | Loadall (with Perkins engines pre-2005) |
| JCB (Wheel Loaders) | Various models |
| JCB (Skid Steer Loaders) | ROBOT |
| JCB (Wheeled Excavators) | JS |
| JCB (Forklifts) | RTFL (Rough Terrain) |
The list above is for reference. Before purchasing, we recommend a visual comparison of the connector on your machine.
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.
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-AFTER 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 engines. JCB DieselMax engines use different sensors with other part numbers and parameters.
