Engine code? Year?

its 2004 2.0 tdi 140bhp. i didnt write the code down ill connect it back up tomorrow and find it. it just said about the sensor on the radiator outlet saying limits too low

there should be a plug inline on the outlet pipe of the radiator hose held in with a clip un plug, remove clip pull sensor out , repace and repeat

 

[stevieb]

wheres the outlet pipe is it at the top left as u look over it

 

[chris1988brown]

if i remember correctly its on the n/s of the car

 

[stevieb]

sound. i found the other no problem but cudnt figure out which pipe was which on this one. could do with draining the coolant too n putting fresh in

is this a bkd engine? i think the g83 is in the plastic housing that holds the thermostat in or in the lower hose to the radiator?
