pritesh Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Hi all, first of all am sorry for asking the same question over and over again...but I just can not find this blasted coolant temp sensor. I have looked in the places where I am meant to..back of the engine but I just can not see it. Attached is a shot of my engine bay (1.8T 20V sport tip) If anyone knows the excat location please enlighted me as im going mad! cheers P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slol Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Looks like the battery is in a different place in my link You need to be looking smack in the middle of the engine,at the back against the bulkhead,and down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pritesh Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Oh my god...how annoying is this..Finally found the sensor but I just can not get to it as there is so much other bits and pieces over it. I dare not pull anything for fear of breakin something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docson Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Did still end up changing the sensor yourself? I'm trying to do that right now and it's a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
