I'm guessing you have an 8v? If so then it's on the front of the cylinder head, in the coolant flange, held on with a horseshoe clip. On the 16v it's screwed into the side (gearbox side) of the cylinder head, to the left (as you look directly towards it) of the side coolant flange.

Don't know why it's named intake air temperature sensor, because that's the coolant one. On the ECP website type your reg number and click Engine Parts > Fuel & Engine Management > Engine Management Sensors  :smiley:
