jdlc Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Temp sensor is CTS - coolant temperature sensor, it is located below the thermostat which is at the engine-end of the top cooling/radiator hose (this is true for 98 x70, it is likely the same location for your 850).When my CTS was failing, the symptom was engine running hot and poor mpg. If you should replace it, together with the thermostat, be sure not to round the torx bolts by using quality tools. Some here suggested replacing those bolts with new T-Stat housing bolts - part number is 986228. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
