Temperature Sensors for Trucks

This category holds 30 catalogued entries in the root temperature family for Volvo, Scania, DAF, Cummins, Mercedes-Benz, MAN and Renault applications, plus the exhaust gas temperature sub-family covered on its own pages. Catalogued examples include the Mercedes-Benz temperature sensor referenced OE211682 (OE 41530428) and the Volvo temperature sensor referenced OE211455 (OE 3985651).

Temperature sensor entries are told apart by their OE numbers and listed applications: the deep-checked Mercedes-Benz entry 41530428 records a temperature range to Tmax 130°C and a thread of M14 x 1.5. That is why this family, like every family on this site, is specified by OE number and confirmed against the listed vehicle application. The pages below split the range into general automotive temperature sensors by OE reference, and the exhaust gas temperature range.

Two filing facts matter when reading this family. First, the source catalogue also files exhaust-gas-temperature-titled entries under its rail-pressure heading — the MAN entry 81274210264 and the Scania entry 2265872 — and this site follows each product's own title, so those two entries are covered with the EGT family as well as listed in the rail count. Second, the root family of 30 includes at least one entry whose title belongs to a brake-lining kit rather than a sensor; it is carried in the count as filed and is not offered as a temperature sensor. The Volvo entry 3985651 (article OE211455) records its brand and application fields without a parameter table, so its specification is confirmed at inquiry.

Order by OE number, not by guesswork

For a temperature sensor order, send the OE number — OE211682, OE211455, 41530428 and 3985651 are catalogued examples from this 30-entry family — and the vehicle and engine it serves. The entry is confirmed against its listed application before quoting; the number, not the silhouette, is the specification. If your inquiry follows a fault, name the reading as the fault text names it (coolant, oil, intake air or charge air). References not printed here are run against the full family listing, which spans Volvo, Scania, DAF, Cummins, MAN and Renault applications.

Fitment confirmation checklist

Fitment is confirmed from the inquiry, so the inquiry has to carry the evidence: vehicle make and model, engine type, the OE number off the old part, and a note of any connector or mounting oddity. Engine detail carries particular weight for temperature sensor orders, since a single truck model can ship with different engines and different sensor specifications. The confirmation follows the applications listed on the catalogue entry itself, and where your model is not listed, that is stated plainly rather than glossed over. For a stock list, send the OE numbers in a spreadsheet for a line-by-line matched or not-matched reply.

Packaging, stock and dispatch

Temperature sensors are small parts covering many engine applications; neutral blue or white boxes leave the shelf label to the buyer, while OEMEMBER and UAP branded boxes suit distributors who list the range by name. The catalogue states the availability behind the family: more than 100 items can be dispatched within 3 days, more than 2,700 within 15 days. Warranty terms are confirmed in the quotation before payment, and certificates are available upon request — ask in the inquiry. One record is worth keeping: the confirmed OE list from your first order, filed with the applications each number was confirmed for. Quote that list back on any repeat order.
