Water temperature gauge

[Smalljeep]

Is there a difference in the temperature sender between the 1.3 and 1.6 engines. My mechanic said that he tested the resistance and the 1.6 one is higher than what the temperature actually is and thats why it shoots straight up into the red once the engine is turned on.

I think they are different, its always best to use whatever sender matches the clocks.

O.E. part number for a 413 sender is 34850-82000 i think.
Vit 34850-82012

some random info for you

Samurai (sj413) Temperatures/ohms resistance for gauge

@50*C(122*F)/133.9-178.9 ohms

@80*C(176*F)/47.5-56.8 ohms

@100*C(212*F)/26.2-29.3 ohms

is it a different part number to the G16 sender?
where do you get all the numbers? and where can you get the parts from.

Use that part number at Suzuki...
The secret parts catalogue may be revealed soon

I have a parts catalogue Edit: they can now be found in the 'General suzuki section'

interesting

according to seekpart they both use the same sender http://seekpart24.com/suzuki/vitara-et- ... ure-100334" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

but your not the only one who has had this problem as far as I'm aware.

I presume you dont have the sender off your old engine to try?

[twiss]

Loads of people have this problem... me included!!!

I have the EPC as well

Out of interest.

What is the colour of the plastic bit on all of your water temp senders? can everyone who has a 1.3 or 1.6 engine in there zukes post this up and let us know if there temp reads correctly on the gauge


I would answer this myslef but as mine is a 410 I have to make an adapter to run the temp sender in one of the coolant tubes and also run an aftermarket temp gauge from the inlet manifold.

I've only got the aftermarket gauge now...
Installed in the manifold sensor port

I'm using the original 1.6 temp sender and it seems to work fine. The plastic bit on the sender is black on my 1.3 and my 1.6 engine.

i got myself a set of 3 52mm gagues, ammeter, oil pressure and oil temperature (or water) it should give a more reliable reading than the gague on the dash.
