Water temperature sensor

[The The]

Hi chaps, I've had a problem with my Octavia for a few years with the engine turning over slow when hot and struggling to start, i fitted a new higher amp battery last year which didn't help so I'm going to try changing the water temp sensor, does anybody know where to get one from and are they all the same? Mines the BKD code will I need that to get the correct one? Cheers.

Worn starter motors are well documented on here as causing issues with hot starting.

 

As are dying batteries but you've ruled this one out.
