It's on the rear of the coolant crossover pipe, which itself is located at the top-rear of the block. There are two sensors next to each other: large one is the ECU's CTS (small one is dash's temp gauge sender).

Can you be a bit more precise as to what you are trying to do?

Are you wanting to fit a new coolant sensor?
If so, which one, the gauge, or the ecu?

Are you fitting a DIFFERENT sender where the gauge one is?
