Hi. The oil temperature thermistor on my two-valve has been damaged. I see a genuine Ducati replacement is ~£50. This looks like a pretty standard ‘industry’ component, does anyone know if there is a suitable replacement? Regards.
Send me a picture. 99% of thermistors have a resistance measuredat 25°C, a curve code and then either PTC or NTC... we need all this information....
if you've got some diagnostic tables then I could work out the curve.... max price for most are about £5... stainless and Nitrile cable etc... down to pennies
I just ordered one funnily enough, make sure you check it out first though: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fits-VW-...sor/293566333243?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144 latest part number reference is 55210452A with a bit of detective work, you will (hopefully) see that above item matches listing below, I've done it all before but can't find notes just now. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ducati-thermistor-oil-temperature-sensor-55210452A-/163877563838 https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/alternatives-to-the-genuine-ducati-parts.594/
Chris.... those measurements don't sound right at all.... What are the measurements in boiling water.... mind yer hands....
I was anticipating a similar reply from you Paul, whatever I posted, so I even have an answer: - buy your own and publish your findings.
Sorry Chris .... it's the engineer in me that can't help pointing out errors. There are no thermistors with that characteristics in any of my electronics books. That curve doesn't exist.
if I could I would quote a "love you" let's not turn this into a Brexit or a Covid thread, go away, do your research and come back* - I am more than happy to eat humble pie/apologise if wrong. *I won't reply to any of your further posts on this until you do.
I forgot to order one. Just done it now. As soon as it arrives I'll test it, put out a video and let everyone know the correct values. Thanks for the reminder @Chris
