Mine doesnt work any ideas? does anyone know where the sensor is on the block? Please help...

Its at the back of the engine on the drivers side.

First check the white plug in engine bay relay box.

Cheers Mat,

I had a look in the haynes manual but its useless! will have a look thanks again.

Very difficult to see the sensor with the engine fitted.
It is hidden under the head from above and by the cambelt from the side.

You can just see it in this pic >

Just above the bend in the fuel lines you can see the wire going to it in this one. Red wire with black sheath.

Couldnt they have found a trickier place to put it! Then again is anything easy to get to on the F type lump! Will try the relay box first with fingers crossed!



Thanks jase

[Matbrown]

Haha, yeah.

I find Jelly Tots work well when bribing local 5 year olds!

Had a quick look yesterday, cant even see/feel the bloody thing, strut brace in the way. Will set aside a good few hours next weekend and have a proper go, failing that im going to need a huge bag of jelly tots....
