I recently replaced the temp sender on my 1980 2.25 109, as it was reading high (just touching red) on the guage. The result: an even higher reading.
Checking the Hanes, there's a note about late S3s needing the type with beige insulation, not the black or white types. Sure enough, my new one has white insulation. Checking with the supplier I bought from, they say only one type is available, and "Hanes manuals are often wrong."
I'm more inclined to believe Hanes than the (perfectly charming) telesales people, but can't source the correct part. Can anyone shed any light?
(I should add, I dont think the engine is actually running hot.)
