Is it tight wen ya screwing the sensor into the adaptor??Mike.Im going for the small screw in adapter the goes were the ac water used to be, like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120578950493?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 but the sensor wont even start to screw in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Npt and np are the same dude. they will be a really tight fit as it will hold water failing that i can send you a replacement sensor in exchange for that one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

james@cjperformance Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 no worries let me know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azz Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 no worries let me know Well just checked it James, you can get the sensor 1/4 of a turn into the adapter then it goes solid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael! Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 They could be 2 diff thread pattens i.e sensor and screw in adaptor, or cross threaded! Makes sure when ya do sort it to put some PTFE round the thread before ya screw it in, just so its 100% water tight mate!Mike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 should wing in dude, will need a spanner to do so though, the threads are tapered aswell making it harder to turn., i would advise using a small aamount of ptfe tape so it seals correctly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
