Coolant temp sensor?

[Phil Rose]

The coolant warning display flashing on (when 
level and temp are both OK) is a symptom of a 
defective MFTS. Low boost-pressure and 
inoperative A/C compressor are also symptoms of a 
bad MFTS, but the dead temp-gauge is a "dead 
giveaway". The MFTS sensor is located on the 
coolant flange pipe on the side (driver's) of the 
head.
