Thank you for all of the tips and for welcoming me
into the V8  community - the diagnostic channels are
pretty cool. So channel 1 told gave  me fault 09 -
Coolant Temp Sensor G62 Open. The value, when I
checked  the channel that shows that output was
something like 'r55'. Does that mean  anything? And
where in the engine bay is that sensor to be found?

I  haven't picked up a Bentley for the V8 yet, so I
apologize for the somewhat  stupid-sounding question.

Cheers,

Alex

Most 90/91 V8's dont have the G62 sensor wired into the system even  though 
the Climate control is set up for the function. Fault 9 on chaneel one is  
therefore an "ignore" fault.
 
G62 is the ECT sensor on the rear of the passengers cylinder head. If it  was 
faulty you can be sure you would have running problems as this sensor is  
what the Motronic uses to determine engine temp for running strategies.
