Just had the front off the van for the second time in six months.  The first time was when the oil cooler sprang a leak, this time it's for the coolant temp sensor.  I'm not complaining since the van is nearly 15 years old.  Smile 

It's actually quite nice to get a proper look at things you can't normally see.  I know that the intercoolers can suffer when the the supporting vertical straps rust through and the pressure in the intercooler causes it to bulge and eventually burst.  Having seen an oil stain on mine I thought I'd change it even though the straps were intact.  


But when I got if off, the back was worse!  Note the missing straps.


Then when I looked at the (now exposed) coolant radiator I clearly had some brushing to do. Smile


I put a how-to-do for the coolant temp sensor here.
