I started a thread about this pump a few weeks ago... the pump on my 90 TD (2wd)
doesn't shut off anymore. I've just disconnected it. I'll look for the sensor
when the weather gets better. The water circuit it's in goes round the oil
filter mount so it looks designed not only to cool the block by keeping the
coolant flowing, but also to cool the oil.
