Ive used Rich's guide to chage a sensor on my 1.8T

BUT where is the sensor on my TDi and how do i change it?

In between the airbox and the engine about 1/3 the way down

Cant bl00dy find the part i need to replace 

[Steve_PD]

this is where it is on mine, which I assume it the same on the 130

inbetween the airbox and the engine



behind this



and its here (this photo is looking down behind the airbox hose)



its easy if you remove the engine cover and the airbox hose to get at it. the plug is awkward but after that easy 
hope this helps

Well i had to fit a piperX air filter too, so taken the top of the air box off helped accessing the temp sensor.

Deffo alot more difficult to change than the 1.8T and more water pi$$es out too.

But another job done and saved a few quid than a garage doing it

Thanks for the help Steve
