Folks I've got the flashing aircon panel problem, VCDS says G65 sensor fail. 

 

Can someone tell me where to find it on a 2007 1.9tdi Scout?

 

Cheers

Post a picture (taken as near to vertically downwards as poss) in your engine bay, of the area just in front of the coolant expansion tank, 3-way connector coming off the sensor, off a silvery alloy pipe.

Thanks, I'll move the HID ballast and have a butchers 

I think this is the G65 sensor, can anyone confirm please .... and how the hell can I get to it !

Looks like it, either a stubby spanner and slim forearms or a crowsfoot spanner.

 

17mm IIRC.

 

Confirmed, just checked a couple of spare ones.

I think you can probably move the expansion tank enough to considerably improve access without disconnecting any of its hoses, maybe just the wiring to the level sensor. N.B. I think that connector has latches both sides that need to be squeezed to unplug it. 1 or 2 screws or bolts to liberate the tank from its mounting, if memory serves.

Thanks both,  I'll see if my 9yr old can do the job for me !

Did this job over the weekend, it is very simple indeed and required only the correct sized spanner. 

 

The job took an hour because access the the sensor is awful, I had to move the header tank and air intake pipe, then manipulate many smaller pipes out of the way to even reach the valve - and then I needed to get my other hand underneath it to support the pipe which may easily fracture when pressure is applied as it's unsupported.
