VR5 Crank Sensor...

[suisideg60]

Hi all,
can anyone tell me where the crank sensor's located on a 1999 passat vr5 and how to remove it??
I've done a "search" and looked in the places people have suggested but I can't find it anywhere!! I've been in from the top, and from the bottom!! I "Think" i can see it in the oil filter/cooling mounting bracket thing...but unsure if that's def it as i can only just see it, and haven't a clue how to get at it.
If anyone could point me in the right direction before it rains again it'd be greatly appreciated!! My workshop manual's decided to not let me see that section!!!
Cheers,
Jon
