The detailed explanation provided in this video helps us understand exactly what the sensor, also known as the bulb, does. It protects the engine from the risk of overheating and thus from potential damage, such as a blown head gasket.

Replacing it is not a complicated task; after locating it, specifically at the base of the radiator, disconnect the wiring connector and use an adjustable spanner to unscrew it and remove it from its housing with ease. Reverse the operation to install the new one.
