Thats not a sensor, its a pipe that goes of at a right angle to the back..

Don't know if it is threaded (and the same as the thread for the GTA sensor, as that is a metric fine thread..)

Looks about the right diameter as the sensor thread and should be tapped ,don't think Ren would change thread types ,that'd just be silly :lol:

I might offer him a couple of quid ....................

Has anyone ever tooled up to make bolt-on pulleys for the GTA''s? The pumps are available for as little as £35 from Volvo (1985 Volvo 760) the only differencce being they used a 4-bolt pulley. This means that in the future, the pump is a doddle to replace. There've been bolt on pulleys available for the DeLorean for years to take advantage of the cross reference at a fraction of the price. Ours are single V-belt though.

Hi,
just a quick info on the waterpumps:

We tried to fit a R25 V6T waterpump (should be the same as the Alpine's) to a Renault 25 V6 with the Z7W 2.9L evenfire engine. The setup is identical to the one in the Espace 2.9L...

The Turbo pump does not fit! Or better said: Of course it fits mechanically. The problem is the temp-senor on the Turbo engines that has a thread. In contrast, the tubing bit on the Z7W engine (as the one on ebay) is just pressed in- no thread.

Changing the pump on the Z7W engine is really a pain in the neck... You have to allign those two hoses at the rear of the pump plus a third connecting to the tubing bit which connects to a metal non-flexible metal tube under the inlet manifold..

So as always

- working on the turbo engine is simpler

Daniel

The Volvo pump has a smaller thread on the right hand sensor ,it's smaller so may tap out to suit the Ren sensor ..........................

Ah, mine has just started to leak a little.

But the ECU water temp sensor hole is not correct for the GTA .I'm bidding on this though as I'm putting a different sensor in to work with the Adaptronic so hands OFF :!:

Rupert,

I found this one when mine went (got one from darrenbriggs in the end).

Should be the correct one, if it's not at least you send send it back, unlike ebay one :cry:
