Where is it? i cant seem 2 find it!
The block i have is an E16SE with Bosch jetronic if its ne help?
I thought it was where the sensor was on the old block, but this looks more like a valve! iv been told it could be under the distributor, and tbh, i aint had time 2 look under there, been on site 2day!
Thanx in hand!

the temperature sensor is on the left hand side of the inlet manifold, looks like a little nipple stuck out with a connector that slides on it! (with a blue wire i think)
