Coolant Temperature Sensor for BYD Tang L EV, OE 11261371-00

Check the fitment table on this page before anything else. This sensor carries across a range of BYD models beyond the Tang L EV named in the title, and sensor housings that look alike are often not interchangeable. Match your model in the table first, then confirm the reading on the sensor already in the car. If the number you find is neither of the two given for this item, send it through the quote route with your vehicle details and we will tell you whether this is the one you need.

The number on the sensor in your car may not be the one in our title. This item carries the reference 11261371-00 and also S6DM-8101651, and both point at the same sensor. Suppliers stamp their own reference on parts they build, so a difference on the old one is normal rather than a warning sign. Get the sensor out, or clean the body enough to read it, then compare against both. If it matches neither, the quote route is where to send the number and we will check it for you.

Delivery time is confirmed with your quote. Once it arrives, open the parcel straight away and set the new sensor beside the one you removed before you fit anything, since a quick visual check now saves a second removal later. Keep the box until you are sure the two match. If the parcel looks damaged or the sensor does not match, get in touch through the quote route on this page before you go any further.

The body of this sensor is plastic. Handle it accordingly. It goes in by hand, the thread or the clip takes very little effort, and a plastic housing will not forgive being levered or overtightened. Sit the new one square before anything is drawn up. If the old sensor has broken up on the way out, make sure nothing has been left behind in the port. Check the fitment table on this page to confirm this is the version your model takes before you start the job.

The mounting position for this sensor is the engine bay. Find the one you are replacing before you order, because reading its marking is the only reliable way to confirm you are looking at the same item. Where it sits within the bay varies by model, so go by what is in front of you rather than by a general layout. Compare what you find with 11261371-00 and with the fitment table on this page. If the two do not line up, send the details through the quote route.

Only the Original/Genuine version of this sensor is listed, made by BYD, and no Aftermarket alternative is offered against this reference. When a part is available in both tiers they appear on the page together, so a single line means there is nothing further to compare. Because this item falls under a transport restriction it is quoted rather than sold from the page, so raise the OE number 11261371-00 through the quote route. Tell us the model and we will confirm what can be supplied and how.
