Default can anyone tell me where the coolant temp sensor is in a b3?

can the resivor be too full? the manual says it should be at the min mark when the car is off. i just had my radiator replaced and they put in more anti freeze so its not at the min mark. i was just asking because sometimes the coolant temp light comes on but i know its full, so i was wondering if it could be too full? or mabye something with the sensor? TIA

Default That light also serves as the.....

...low coolant light. Top up your coolant to max and is should go away.

Also, the sensor that causes the temp light is the bottom sensor (not the top as Taxi says).
