Do I have to remove the intake runner to get my
cylinder temp sender out? And what size socket is it? Engine is a 1.7. |

No, on the intake runners. I "think" a 13/16 spark plug socket will work. Grind one corner from a short socket extension so the wire will pass thru the top of the socket, or cut a slot in the side of the socket.

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
It's 13mm, there is a special socket for it or do the above. Soak it in P-oil for a couple of days and make an offering to the Porsche gods. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
If you are replacing it anyways just snip the wire off. |

Amen to that. Very easy to remove aluminum threads from the head with the CHT.

what a PITA job... make sure you need to do it. i made a special socket driver out of wood with a slot for the wire to pass through it. then, just used a deep 13mm socket. the manual calls for a "socket wrench" that i've never seen.
good luck, nathan |

Geeeeez - buy a 13 mm deep socket and using a dremel tool cut a slot in the side for the wire to pass thru.
If you don't have a dremel tool, use a hacksaw. Or cram the wire up inside the deep socket - |
