Frequently asked questions

What does the RTC4996 temperature sensor do?
The RTC4996 is a coolant temperature sensor, or transmitter, for the Range Rover Classic 2.4L VM turbo diesel. It measures engine coolant temperature and sends an electrical signal to the dashboard temperature gauge. It's fitted at the water manifold and thermostat housing on the cooling system.
Which Range Rover Classic does this temperature sensor fit?
This temperature sensor fits the Range Rover Classic 1986-1991 with the 2.4L four-cylinder VM turbo diesel engine, up to VIN HA610293. It's the water manifold and thermostat housing transmitter. Confirm your engine is the 2.4L VM diesel and check your VIN against the HA610293 break before ordering.
What are the signs this temperature sensor has failed?
A failed coolant temperature sensor typically shows as an inaccurate or dead dashboard gauge, or one that reads permanently cold or hot. Because it only feeds the gauge, a faulty unit won't stop the engine but leaves you without a reliable reading, risking an unnoticed overheat on the VM diesel.
