the temp sensor is on the right side of the cylinder head when your in front of the engine looking at it. it the blue one mate.(if its a mk1 saxo) if its a mk2 then its on the right hand side again but just to the right of the rocker near the top hose also blue.

cant see why a filter should make your water temp high mate.

i think it could be your thermostat in the cylinder head. this should open at 89 degrees if i remeber correctly. all you have to do to test it is remove the top hose and its the two ten mill bolts where the hose connects the to the head. undo the bolts and pull the connecting metal pipe of and it will fall out. boil the kettle stick a thermometa (sp) in the water and see when it opens. the fan could be a fuse. or you may just have a faulty water temp sensor. or you could have air in your water system

could be just a coincidence. put your standard filter back on and see what happens mate..
