I suspect my temperature head sensor is the reason my 914 runs a little rough the first couple miles.
I know where it is on my 1.7. Do need to remove the tin to replace or can it be removed through the tin hole? I know a deep socket is needed to stuff the wire in. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

You can leave the tin on and use a deep socket. Some people, including me, cut a notch in a 3 inch extension to thread the wire and lead through the socket. Others are able to just get the lead all stuffed inside the socket.
Just be careful putting a new one in. You don't want to strip those threads. |

and smack the top of the head of the sensor to unfreeze the threads before turning it out Notching the extension is the trick I learned long long ago

I use a deep socket I bought at Harbor freight, I drilled a hole in the side of the (cheap throw- away) socket for the wire. I use it quite often.
