NOCK Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Shouldn't need to remove your engine cover, it's about 20cm down from your coilpack on the right hand side of the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99hjhm Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Take the engine cover off. Follow the top hose on the rad(Behind where the GTI badge is on the grill back to the engine, where the hose attatches to the engine, you will see the sensor.

Defcon5 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 There is a U shaped piece of plastic that slots down and secures the sensor in. Pull this up, than the sensor out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon5 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Yup, top it up when you are finished, its self bleeding. Hope the coolant wasnt hot when you covered yourself in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car hadnt moved for 36 hours, fortunately If it'd have been hot, I'd of dropped more than the clip holding it in place I assume I remove, place seal on new one, insert, lock in place, top up anti freeze, job done?
