they're not all the same....
the lowest one goes into the water jacket as water poured out when i replaced it so i guess thats for the coolant temp, but what color wire is that one is for oil pressure, but which one and which colour wire the last one is for cold start possibly ? that is linked inline to the other large brown temp switch thing maybe ? but again what colour wire should this be wires are standard KR loom colours, changing them around affects the car in different ways so whats the correct postion for each one?
anyone know….??

seems to confirm that all the sensors although the same their location determines what is measured…. as i thought.

well having had them in every combination possible i can let you know with confidence that 'sod all difference' is in fact a difference, and its not the fact the sensors are all rated the same, its the fact they are all connected to different things, thats like saying all your light bulbs are the same but you dont want your headlights on when you hit the brake !doesnt matter which wire goes where, they're all coolant temp sensors and same rating
with them as shown in the picture the cold start is spot on, the coolant guage (thats why there is a pic of coolant on it) is reading the coolant temp and is more believable and fluctuates less which is a big plus and defiately the best way for my car
