its easy if you remove the engine cover and the airbox hose to get at it. the plug is awkward but after that easy  :smiley:
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  :wink:
