Coley Member 110 Member For: 16y 10m 1d Gender: Male Location: Ipswich Posted 05/07/08 05:27 AM Share Posted 05/07/08 05:27 AM Just pulled the car apart today and have come across two problems. The first problem is that the sensor is on the left hand side and my cold piping is on the right hand side. What did you guys do to move the sensor?My other problem is where to put the horns? There is no room left because the intercooler is in the way. Where did you guys mount the horn?How much room I haveHorn I need to mount somewhereThe sensor I need to move to the other side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can email you some "how to" instructions for the vac extention mo if your stuck.I also did a cooler instal lwith that cooler a few years ago so if you need pics let me knowCheersChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the wiring of the sensor goes towards the fuse box so doesn't go to the other side where the cold piping is. Was thinking of extending the wires if I really had to. Does it matter if you just use some vac hose? Like will it still work just as good? Thanks for the help Edited 06/07/08 03:46 AM by Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wingnut Guests Posted 05/07/08 10:39 PM Share Posted 05/07/08 10:39 PM Same here BFHOON, just extend the wires and you will be sweet.

After I fitted my cooler I couldnt figure out which wires went where, I tried different combinations but they all didnt work..Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is of the wires the other is where I relocated it to. Make sure you mount the bracket first before you try to see if it works. I tried the horn when it wasn't mounted (just sitting on the ground) and it hardly made a sound. But then once it was mounted it worked fine.
