    I started getting P0118 a couple months ago. I changed the temp sensor, my second in 6 months but it still comes back periodically. It only sets on startup, I've never seen it come on with the car running. What else should I look at? V6, 2003 4 Motion.

    So, read a bunch of posts to see 1) where the frigging sensor was, and 2) how to bend like a pretzel. Surprisingly, my arm only got stuck once alongside the manifold ;-) Thanks for the posts. Anyway, old sensor with O-Ring out, new sensor and o-ring in. Pushed from top to seat well, and new...

    2003 1.8T AWM. I'm overseas so I want to do fix this myself... MIL came on and shows a P0118 code. I've reset it twice and the same code reappears in a week or so. I've noticed the following: engine runs well, the gauge on the instrument panel warms up to 190 and stays at the 12 o'clock...

    Hey guys, I've been looking around online for a few days, and trying to figure out whats wrong and roughly estimate the cost of repairs. P0118 from what I've read is basically a bad sensor and needs to be replaced, more so if you have the black ended one, like I do. P0171, could be a variety...

    I recently had both cam adjusters on my 03 variant W8 (6spd.) replaced under factory warranty. After getting the car back and driving for less than a week, the CEL came on and the fan would run continuously. I took it in and it was the ECT, so they replaced it and the o-ring at no cost. So...

    hi there, my car has P0118 OBD II code now and it's related to the coolant temperature sensor (either the wiring and connection problem or the sensor problem, i would bet it's the latter). could anyone tell me how to replace it? i read some thread here but not found the right one for my model...

    Okay so why am I getting this code a week after replacing the temp sensor?:banghead: I have read about possible air bubble below sensor but not a fix for this. Would you remove the sensor again and take a syringe and remove coolant from the reservoir and place it into the sensor port or should...

    I went to Auto Zone because my MIL light came on and code P0118 came up. They said it was an electronic coolant sensor. Are they right? How serious is it? Also they reset the code and I will be calling the dealership on Monday. Any suggestions?? Thanks to everyone who responded to my wife...

    My CEL is on since last Saturday. The fault code is P0118 - Engine Coolant Temp.Circuit High Input. Is it the coolant sensor problem? Are there more than one and where are they located? Are these covered under 10-year/100,000-mile power train warranty? It’s a 2001.5 GLX V6 with 23K miles...
