Default P0116 code- which sensor?

Hello All-

I have just popped a P0116 code, which says it's the G62 coolant temp sensor. Problem is, I cannot determine where this is. From what I read, some people say this is on the back of the engine on the passenger side, and some say it is on the drivers side. I have the 2.8 V6 engine. One sensor supposedly controls the temp gauge and the other is the one that causes the code. Can someone clear this up for me?

Thanks-
Brady

The Audi part number is 026906161 and is white in color. Be sure the connector on the sensor is secure and not corroded too. About $50 from the dealer..much less from FCPEuro and others.

Thanks, Rusty- That's the one I finally settled on, but was not sure initially. Appreciate the response.
