[s-cars] G8 Oil Temperature Sensor/Sender

[Mark Pollan]

Perusal of the Bentley pointed me to the sender/sensor for the Oil Temp.
Gauge in my S6 as being G8.  However, Sr. Bentley was little help in
providing me with its' location.  There is a picture of a V6 motor showing
it in the front of the motor, but alas I have an I5.  The wiring diagram
lists the connector as being at the front left of the motor.  Peering in
there last night (yes, with a flash light) revealed nothing.  Is it behind
the timing belt cover?

I ask because my oil temp gauge has been acting up.  If I give it a tap it
will move up or down as IT chooses.  I suspect an IC connection but may also
be the sensor/sender.  Thoughts?

Best regards,
