MGF/TF ECU coolant sensor change

Ein fast selbsterklärender Ablauf zum Austausch eines defekten braunen ECU Kühlmittelsensors. This is a straight foreward job to change the brown coloured ECU coolant sensor in case of a failure.
Werkzeug:
11mm Knarre oder Maul/Ringschlüssel für die Schrauben der Motorabdeckung
19mm Maulschlüssel für den Sensor
Tools required
11mm spanner for the engine cover
19mm spanner for the sensor

Material:
Kühlmittelsensor GTR206 / MEH100060
und möglichst eine neue Dichtung

Zu beachten:
Eigentlich nichts besonderes, ausser dem üblichen. Der Motor MUSS kalt sein und es soll kein Überdruck im System sein. Die Kappe muss auf dem Ausdehnungsgefäss bleiben. Das Kühlsystem braucht nciht entlüftet zu werden, wenn man den Umtausch sehr schnell schafft und nur ganz wenig Kühlmittel verliert.
Unbedingt darauf achten, dass der Behälter ausreichend bis Maximum gefällt ist, bevor man beginnt. Wenn der Kühlmitelstand bis auf den Boden gesunken ist, dann muss neu entlüftet werden.

Materials
New sensor GTR206 / MEH100060
new gasket is recommended

Notice:
Nothing important so far, but carefull works as usual. The engine must be cold and without pressure in the coolant system. The coolant expansion cap must be closed. The coolant system needs no new bleeding if you are quick and don't waste to much coolant while swaping in the new sensor.
However, take care that the expansion tank is well filled BEFORE you start. If the level gats down to the bottom, then you must bleed
