Hi guys, my car is an 2003 Nissan Pulsar auto sedan

The connector that plugs into the coolant temp sensor broke as I was putting it in, though unfortunately I'm not familiar with electrical connectors, would it be possible to get a cheap aftermarket replacement or is this Nissan specific design, making this repair tricky?

    There any numbers or anything on the plastic connector?

      No numbers or markings :/. I had a look at some diagrams (Partsouq) but it doesn't say anything about the connector itself, just mentions the wiring harness as a whole.

        I tried Google Image search and it wasn't much help, loads of plugs look sorta like that.

          Same. Hard to find the right part without a part number :/. Found a few that look similar, but the dimensions could be off.

    I think it might be CS830, may be just go to Repco to have a check if you can?

      Thanks for the links Sly. The sensor itself is ok (afaik), just the plastic connector from the wiring harness I need to replace, but Im unsure of what type of connector it is, or if it has a specific model/part number.

    If you don’t want to wait for delivery you could go to a self serve wrecker and get one.

      Don't think they're around anymore, are they (nsw)? There use to be Pick'n'Payless, they closed some years back. Northern Wreckers got a new owner/name but they're no longer self-serve (thieves & broken things).
      Do you know of any around Sydney?

    Go to a vehicle dismantling yard (a wreckers). Plenty parts there.

      I'll have a call around, but afaik, self-serve isn't around (in sydney) anymore. I'll make some inquiries tomorrow (monday) & see what they say. :)

      Thanks Curlcurl. I had a look but doesn't seem to be a self-serve place. I sent a message to them just in-case though. Thanks :)

    If you can still fin the connector, use a cable tie or 2 to secure. But a replacement is not the easiest new.

    Why do you insist on Self Serve? Just go and ask for the Connector with 4" of wiring, cut and shut instal.

    Or, strip the terminals from the damaged forced connector, insert them into the Sender section, and fill with a non conductive sealant.
    It is not perfect to look at, but then again, it is a viable work around.

    Have a look here and see if this is a match. Looks like a pretty common temp sensor plug.
