Have a leaking temperature sensor that I now want to fix.
What do you think: thread tape? Someone of Loctite products? Something else?
What do you think is best to avoid water leakage again.

Removal, cleaning, inspection, re-install. Works most of the time.

I would use the pipe thread tape on both the outer fitting and the temp sensor, just my 2cents

the temp senser works on ground if you put stuff on it it may ground

Yea you can't use thread tape just clean it and try to re install it

No problem using the tape. Just cover the bottom 4 or 5 threads and leave the upper threads clear. That way it will still be grounded and you won't have a tape "tail" showing.
