O.e turbo heatshield.

[Brigsy]

Bought a new turbo heatshield recently for my gtt & theres no hole for the anti-perc fan sensor so i will have to get the holesaw out by the looks of it.

Can anybody help with the location of the sensor? I.e measurements on a picture would be awesome. I dont want to cock it up by fitting it in the wrong place :coffee:

[phase i 16 v turbo]

There is no hole as Renault no longer supply the holder for the perc fan sensor.

It'll look smarter without the sensor above turbo I reckon :)

[Brigsy]

Aye it would but the anti perc works well & it needs the sensor to work so i have no choice but to drill:eek:

Doesnt the sensor at the base of the carb work?

[Brigsy]

Ill be honest im not 100% sure what that sensor does, all i know if you pull a wire off the one above the turbo the anti perc always goes off.

[Chris Hebden]

As far as i know the sensor at the base of the carb does the same thing. I used to have that sensor and the sensor on top of the turbo wired together but eventually found out the carb sensor doesnt work so i cut these wires out and just used the one at the top of the turbo.

Sorry to go off a litte bit, but like Sukhi, i think it would look much nicer without the sensor if you can use another one!

I see where your coming from mate, The engine bay with all the original bits fitted does look a bit on the cluttered side. The engine loom is in vgc & the sensor works so ill be grudged chopping the loom.

Im after the full o.e look so it will be fitted. Im tempted to copy off the kevlar bb jobby i have fitted at the moment it must be somewhere near?

Any help? (is this the one you mean)

As in make metal copies?

Those sensors are just thermal switches. They will close circuit after a predetermined point as you know lol

Perc fan, blimey, haven't heard one of those for ages, must try one again :coffee:

Ah, good work then mate :agree:!

Looking at Hoolio's pics and comparing that to my BB Kevlar heat shield, my switch seems to be located just to the N/S of the heatshield

Same angle as Hoolios but a slightly bigger file size.

I've not yet drilled my Heatshield & fitted a perc fan sensor as i'm of the opinion that OF COURSE the sensor's going to be hot & trigger the fan as it's right above the friggin Turbo! :rolleyes:

My car's just running the perc fan sensor on the bottom of the carb & works a treat! :coffee:
