T25,T4,T5,G1,G2,G3,G4 Temperature Sender Clip

This temperature sensor clip is a small but critical component used to secure the coolant temperature sender firmly in the housing or flange. Its job is simple but essential: it locks the sender in place so it remains fully seated against its seal, ensuring accurate temperature readings and preventing coolant leaks.

Over time, original clips become brittle from heat and age and often snap during removal. A missing or damaged clip can allow the sender to lift slightly, leading to erratic gauge readings, warning lights, or coolant seepage. For this reason, we strongly recommend replacing the clip whenever a temperature sender or switch is changed.

Manufactured from durable plastic and shaped to original specification, this clip provides a tight, secure fit and restores proper operation of the cooling system.

Why replace the clip?

• Prevents coolant leaks at the sender

• Ensures accurate temperature readings

• Avoids repeat strip-downs due to broken old clips

• Cheap insurance when replacing a temperature sender

Fitting notes

• Always check the sender O-ring seal condition

• Lightly lubricate the seal before refitting

• Ensure the clip is fully seated after installation
