i did post a guide to where everything is under the bonnet, il post it up in here in a sec
 
it's screwed into the right hand side of the inlet manifold as you stand infront of the car

as back in the day were the water use to flow threw the inlet manifold to heat it there needs to be something to block the hole in the head were water comes out for this as the head design has not changed much over the year so fiat simply let it into a section of the manifold were the temperature sensor is

buy doing this it is at the very top of the system as hot water goes up
 
Thanks for the reply pip,

I have just changed the ble top sensor in the pic, but can you tell me what the red top one os by any chance ?

that's the temp sensor for the temperature gauge on dash
the blue one is more accurate for use buy the ecu

it's obviously moved from the left hand side of the head as yours is a 75 mpi so injectors wiring must have been in the way or something

it's normally located above num1 spark plug screwed in the back of the head

on 1108 1242 8v 55 spi and 60 spi but yours is 75 mpi

It is behind the thermostat, and has a plug over the top of it, remove the plug, and it is blue in colour. Can't remember what size of spanner you need, but it is just a case of unscrew the old one, and then replace with the new one, and put the plug back on.

Hope that all makes sense
 
ok thanks alot, and is it ok 2 leave it off until i buy a new 1 so i can show the guy at the fiat dealership what i want, im not gonna b drivin it yet??
