P2185 error code

[Goalmaster6]

Hi all,

ran a scan on VCDS and noticed an error code P2185 engine coolant temp sensor on radiator outlet (G83) signal too high. Is the way to access this sensor underneath the car?

also, does anyone know the running temp of a 2014 s3? I was looking at live logs on VCDS and it was sitting around 102-107 then when under full loads it drops to around 90, which I believe is normal, but just want a reassurance on idle temps.
Screenshot of error attached.

Any idea on the location of the sensor on that error code?

For a golf R but same engine, which then references a GTI thread where the location is shown / described and are the same (there are 2 sensors).
