    usually on the gearbox at the flywheel on most cars others behind the plastic at the crank pully where the timing belt is hope this helps

    Depends on whether is it 8v or 16v but the 8v sensors are more troublesome so I will assume 8v.

    So it is beside the oil filter housing on the front of the engine block beside the gearbox.

    It is on the back of the engine near the gearbox side. Pretty awkward to access.
