Coolant temperature sensor location

Tags: #coolant · #sensor · #pre-facelift

Pre-facelift (2018, "дорест") location. On pre-facelift X80 engines, the coolant temperature sensor (ДТОЖ) is located at the rear of the engine, near the 4th cylinder, accessible from the engine side. Removal requires a 19mm socket¹²³.

Post-facelift (restyled) location. On post-facelift ("рестайлинг") models, the sensor may instead be integrated into a triple-connector assembly (тройник) rather than standing alone in the same rear-of-engine spot — owners should search the group history for "thermostat/sensor assembly replacement" threads for exact location details specific to their model year, since the sensor's mounting point differs from the pre-facelift layout⁴.
