Default where is the heat sensor

I have had the engine check light up on my1995 wrx a few times and when i did a check the code related to the heat sensor. I ahve asked a few people and have received a few diferent answers as to where it is located.
Can anyone help as to its location ?

The code is eleven, and i just use the fault finder on the car and look the code up on some web site but i can't remember what it is called. If you ask on here someone will be able to tell you the name of the site and it tells you everything you need to no.

eleven is Crank Position sensor.

Do a reset of the ecu and see if it re-occurs.

Ahah.. you mean the Coolant Temp sensor.. it is in the ally cross pipe on top of the engine under the inlet manifold.. pain to get to..

you need to change the one with the square multi plug, not the one next to it with a single spade connector which is for the coolant temp gauge on the dash.

no from memory it is a screw thread on the sensor and screws in to the pipe.

scooby*ste do a search for saxonfield (if you have a classic) this tells you to check for codes.
