Hi,

2 things...

1. VAG COM informs me that my Coolant Temperature Sensor needs replacing, but I cannot find it, ive searched around but all the guides seem to be for inline engines.

Could anyone mark on the photo attached whereabouts I should be looking?

2. My car somtimes experiances loss of power, somtimes when im driving it will judder for a few seconds and return to normal.

Other times it will be fine but as soon as I try and accelerate/increase revs if parked the engine loses power, I would say it sounds like a misfire when it does this but im not 100% sure what one sounds like so I cant say for certain.

Could the faultly sensor be the cause of these problems or is it something else?

Thanks
