Hi there Guys

first time posting just looking for a bit of help really i have a corsa b 1.0 12v on inspecting the engine bay today i found a cable with a spade connector on it which i have no idea where it has come from it doesn't appear to be affecting the car although i don't think my temperature gauge is working which is my second question am i right in thinking the red ringed nut in the following picture is the temperature switch? if so does it need a wire coming out of it? could the lose cable come from there? thanks in advance!

(red = temperature switch?)
(yellow = loose cable)

yes mate thats just the temperature sensor which puts the indication onto your dashboard, just shove that connector back onto it. or has it broke off? in which case theirs not much you can do, you COULD replace it, or just leave it... its totally down to you.

Hi

Thanks for the reply! I cant see how it would connect to the sensor? The wire has a spade type connector on it and the sensor is just flat on the top would I need to replace the spade connector with a different type or if I changed the sensor would it have the spade terminal on it?

The sensor dose not have a spade on it there is a round thing that the spade on the wire slides over if u no what I mean lol

I think I understand what ur saying will giv it a go wen I leave work tonight and see what happens

thanks guys!!!! put it back on tonight all is working fine!

another noob question i also have is ive bought a de-badged grill i am unsure on how to fit it? i un screwed the 2 screws that appear to be holding the standard one on and tryed to pull it off it would not budge are there more screws im missing? is there a guide on how to do this? i bet its something small im missing just looking for a bit of guidance thanks in advance

U have to push the bottom of the grill in towards the car. There are clips along the bottom.

thanks for the reply got the grill off was really tight! but went to put the new grill in and i hadn't noticed that the company i had bought it from has sent me the wrong grill!
so waiting for the right one to come! thanks for all the help guys!
