I've looked into replacing the coolant temp. sensor and it looks pretty straightforward. But does anyone know if it can be done without having to drain coolant? That is the bit I might struggle with.
My temp. gauge reads ok, but I note it can still be a cause of a problem regardless. I've plugged my code reader in which says no codes are logged, but its a cheap reader and I'm not sure I trust it to be right. I don't have an engine management light lit on the dash, but then I'm not sure if my car has one!

You don't need to completely drain the coolant, just enough so you can remove top hose and thermostat housing, you could just loosen top hose and let it drain. While you're at it might as well replace the thermostat.
