Frequently asked questions

What does the ADU7161 coolant temperature sensor do?
The ADU7161 coolant temperature sensor measures engine coolant temperature and sends that signal to the ECU and temperature gauge on the Discovery 1 2.0L MPi T-Series petrol. The ECU uses it to set fuelling, so a faulty sensor can upset cold starting and running.
Where is the coolant temperature sensor located on a Discovery 1?
The coolant temperature sensor typically sits in the coolant outlet housing or inlet manifold on the Discovery 1 T-Series petrol engine, reading coolant leaving the cylinder head. Exact position varies, so trace the wiring from the sensor plug to confirm before removing it.
What are the signs the coolant temperature sensor needs replacing?
Common signs on the Discovery 1 include an erratic or inaccurate temperature gauge, hard cold starting, rough running when cold, and stored engine fault codes. Because the ECU relies on this sensor for fuelling, a failing unit can also cause higher fuel use or hesitation.
Does the ADU7161 fit my Discovery 1?
The ADU7161 fits the Land Rover Discovery 1 (1989-1998) with the 2.0L MPi T-Series petrol engine, VIN FA393361 to WA799999. It won't suit the V8 or Tdi engines. Check your engine type and VIN against this range before ordering.
