What year is your diesel? I believe the later ones had a slightly different sensor and not sure if it moved or not so will have to check either way.

on my 940 diesel 1995 auto ,i have used the 2 wires that go to the low washer bottle resoirvor . lucky i had a spare reservoir with the coolant float in the bottle so changed that and also had a spare sensor probe that pokes up into the reservoir its got 2 wires too i jointed them to the washer bottle wires and now when the coolant gets low in reservoir the low washer bottle comes on in the car thats the best i can do but there are other options on here better than my fix but my fix defiantly works as ive tested it 3 times easy to drain our D24s with the drain off tap got a few other tips on this engine my email is jimliddy1@gmail.com |

The wires you're looking for are Yellow/White and Yellow/Black, not sure where the temperature gauge sender is on the D24 but if you can find a 2-pole connector (probably) somewhere near the thermostat, chances are that will be it.

hi dave
my fix has bypassed the sensor at the front of engine as im running now on the washer bottle sensor if you get what i mean . that tempreture gauge of mine stopped working years ago i changed the temperature gauge and the circuit board so it was too much for me the next thing was engine sensor but i could never know if it was broken or not i tried grounding it got a multi meter but no luck |

I am beginning to suspect the gauge though. It immediately jumps to 50% on switch on and never movers. The fuel contents gauge is acting strangely as well. May be dry joints? |

https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=300846 While the cluster is out, clean the contacts in the mulitplugs that connect to it and using a small screwdriver or similar, "tease" the conacts out a bit on the multiplugs to give them their curve back. Also clean (with fine emery or similar) the contacts on the edge of the PCB on the back of the cluster.
