paul.h Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 It should be at the gearbox end of the cylinder head in a housing. To get to it the air inlet ducting needs removing. It is held by a clip. A new seal should be used and it should be greased before fitting - probably to help fitting. Quote

paul.h Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 The air filter should not need removing, just the ducting and possibly the battery cover. You are supposed to drain the coolant before starting but if you have the new sensor ready, it may be possible to swap the sensor quickly without losing too much if it is not drained. Undo the expansion tank cap first to release any pressure and if you then put it back it may help reduce the loss. Quote
