Description of Delphi TS10278 Coolant Temperature Sensor: Reliable Performance and Accurate Readings

delphi temperature sensors are built to minimize failure; manufactured to meet or exceed oe requirements and testing. delphi temperature sensors deliver accurate readings and optimal performance. each sensor is electrically insulated to eliminate interference from other components in the vehicle. a rugged plastic shell and thermistor pre-mold subassembly prevent stress, ensuring accurate measurements and vibration resistance; the thermistor is separate from the outer shell and is surrounded by thermally conductive fluid. delphi's one-piece design and automated production process eliminates internal connectors and failure points. Fit type: Vehicle Specific.

Works great, requires manual

It would be easier to install if there were instructions. In connection with this, I drank half a bottle of Petosin antifreeze.

Pros
  • Rugged plastic housing and molded thermistor subassembly resists stress for accurate readings and vibration resistance; Thermistor is separate from the outer shell and surrounded by a heat conducting liquid
Cons
  • Expensive

No o-ring or clip fits replacement parts

O-ring and retaining clip as shown in the picture are not included and should always be replaced. I wasted my time waiting for this and now I need to find another one.

Pros
  • Delphi temperature probes provide accurate readings and optimum performance
Cons
  • Some cons

Took a whole 4 days!

Worked great every 4 days, then nothing. I know it's cheap but I expected it to last at least a year - the factory part lasted 13 years. The car I installed it in is difficult to access and coolant is lost every time you turn it off.

Pros
  • Fit: Vehicle-specific
Cons
  • There are defects

NO O-RING AND CLAMP although shown

I bought two of these. The photos show the black o-ring and clip. Customer reviews indicate that the o-ring and clamp are included. None of my purchases included an o-ring and clip. It's cheaper on Aliexpress and the kit includes a ring and clip.

Pros
  • One piece Delphi construction and automated manufacturing process eliminates internal connections and failure points
Cons
  • Wrinkled

Absolutely terrible design.

Absolutely horrible design the way they designed it After only 4 months this sensor was completely working out of the engine and was spurting coolant. I had to limp my car to take my daughter to kindergarten. Upon closer inspection, the o-ring appears too large, making it almost impossible to hold with a clamp. The clip doesn't snap securely either, and with a little wiggling you can pull the sensor back out without removing the clip. I attribute this to the adhesive ring on the back providing…

Pros
  • Each sensor is galvanically isolated to eliminate interference from other vehicle components
Cons
  • Hard to tell
