edit that ive just looked the only sensor i can see is the one on the back of the thermostat housing its a green one

there should be two on the thermostat on the vts or at least there is on my mk2 vts

Green one which informs the ECU of the engine temp and a blue one that controls the guage on the dash

just had a look i got a green one on the thermostat housing and one next to it but its on the head and thats blue

anyway to test them

yea there is two..test them both,unplug them and run the car for a few mins..i would also clean them before putting back on
