Default Coolant temp sensor location?

Hi fella's
Can someone please tell me the exact location of the ecu coolant temp sensor on a 1995 awd turbo please?
I've tried looking for it with a torch but want to be sure its the correct item.
A pic of it either on or off the car would be great.
Regards Jules...

Thanks for the help fella's
I've just unscrewed a brown sensor with a 2 pin connection so i assume that'll be it.
Are these available from a decent factors or main dealer only?
Cheers Jules..

Right i've bought one Subaru (£31.64) and fitted it and now i need to reset the ecu. Problem is there is no sign of the 2 green connectors under the dash, just the black ones are there.
I guess i'll have to just disconect the battery for a few hours?

hmm I called my local subaru dealer this morning to price one of these. They couldn't help without the chassis number. I asked for an approx price and they said they had one in for a 2002 car and it was £70+vat.

I don't suppose you'd have the part number for the one you bought would you?

cheers

You'll need to check it's for the same model as yours too mate...

The green conectors will be there mate.... you have to be a contortionist to find them though...

I said you had to be a contortionist.

Glad it's sorted fella, fingers crossed.
