Mk 5 1.4 tsi (170ps) crankshaft position sensor location - please help!!!!

[vwpete1988]

Hi there, I am hoping that somebody can help me out. Car is a mark 5 1.4 tsi golf. I tried to search on here and could only find information on the camshaft sensor. I need to replace the crankshaft sensor but I cannot find it for the life of me. I know exactly what it looks like and have been above and below the car and cannot see it. Is there anything that I have to remove in order to access it? Any ideas as to even it's general location (left or right or above or below the car) would be greatly appreciated and a picture of the location would be fantastic.

Many thanks

I think its towards the rear or the engine past the oil filter but open to correction
