I am wanting to know where the location of that B1 S3 is? When i tried to call VW parts and TPS parts, both asked me what is the colour the connector for that sensor.
I have went to three different garages and they all said the sensor should be behind the engine at the top. Please help me.

B1 is bank one and the engine has only one bank. S3 is the second sensor, it has three, S1, S3 and S4, yes I know.....

S3 is the one on the DPF, to give you the part number I need your REG number.

thanks for your reply, so the fault i have is from one of the sensors in the engine bay? My registration is SF64WYG
