The coolant temp sensor on the ZS isn't working properly. The car started overheating last night and as soon as I turned the heaters on the gauge returned to normal however the rad fans didn't come on until I turned the engine off. I'm stuck between whether it's the thermostat is on its way out or the temp sensor. I'm going to replace the sensor first as it's the easiest job and because it's an intermittent fault I would assume the thermostat isn't fully to blame as it would be more frequent if that was the case? looking on DMGRS there is a black, blue and a brown sensor for the K-series so which one do I need?
