top hose at front of engine..it pushes in and make sure you check what colour is fitted and buy the same ad most good parts places will sell them
check my engine as the temp sensor is in a similar place

Post by: rubjonny on 20 February 2008, 10:59: even if they did I would only buy ecu temp sensors from VW, the gsf ones are a bit crap!
