Default Help

I have an 2001 A6 2.8 with an obd error code for a bad coolant temp sensor. Ordered the part from autozone $50. The sensor looks like a relay, with an electronic plug surrounded in green plastic and with a gold colored metal top. I don't know where to find it on the car to replace?

Aren't they cheaper than that at the dealer? Replace the clip too.

Too late now, but next time try ECS Tuning on the web. Good prices and tech advice.
