Default WHERE IS THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR

I did a forum search and found nothing that was helpful.

So, I look under my hood trying to find the ECT sensor and I remember someone saying that it is a green plug thingy. So I look behind the block and there is no "green plug thingy" to be found Except for the one that is next to the blue, red and grey plug "thingies" BEHIND THE COOLANT RESEVOIR. Since this is the only Green plug thingy under the hood, is it the ECT sensor?


Cheers and sorry for the lack of mechanical jargon.

I think that if you have less than 100K miles on your car, the Audi dealership will do it for free - worth checking.

I have 02 A6 Avant 3.0L with 120k mi
Engine Code AVK


CEL was on this morning and independent shop scan saying ECT Engine coolant temperature sensor codes pulled

How can I locate and replace this sensor? Will there be one or more ECT sensor(s)?
