Let's look at replacing the radiator temperature sensor on a Chevrolet Cruze. Lift the front engine bonnet; to remove the temperature valve, you need to disassemble the undertray.

Unscrew the bolts with a socket wrench (if present), disconnect the power connector of the temperature sensor valve, remove it, and fit a new one. Reattach the engine cover panel above the cylinder head with all the bolts. Test the proper functioning of the valve by starting the car and bringing the engine to temperature.

Carry out the necessary checks.
