hi guys,
after replacing the thermostat and doing radiator flush i accidently broke off the temperature sensor for the coolant next to the bleed plug on the side of the thermostat housing. is there some kind of sealant/glue you can use to stick the sensor back into the brass plug? or do i have to buy a whole new plug with the sensor attached? any help much appreciated andy |

I did the same thing when I pulled my broken thermostat housing off.
A new sensor should cost less than $30 from Ford, just get a new one. |
