Default Pass side rear of Cyl head under many hoses and wires, Sticking staight up with

four wire plug. Held into metal tube with plastic clip, get a new one with your sensor.

Default Don't ask me to find it, but I found pictures and procedures on AW 2-3 yrs ago. Easy.

One trick, be sure your system is sealed (tank cap closed) when removing this sensor or the fluid flows out (air displacement). I learned this obvious fact the hard way. Get the clip, as Ex says.

Default Just did this today. PSA!!! get a spare, throw in car.

My car threw codes yesterday for the G62, then didn't start today-grrr. and when I removed it , I see why - sensor cooked/dead.

Anyway, these fail frequently enough to warrant keeping a spare in the vehicle. At least, in my case, my spare sensor allowed me to drive today (sunday)
