coolant temp sensor

[fridge67]

2012 1.6 ti-vct  where is the coolant sensor, reading my haynes manual its supposed to be on the coolant pipe under the air box around the gearbox. i cant see it. i do have what looks like a coolant sensor that screws into the head on the gearbox side just around where the coil pact is fitted. anyone know what this sensor is for ?

thanks for your thoughts

Yes that's the coolant temp sensor with a light grey plug.  It's fitted into the plastic pipe joiner under the coil pack.  

The sensor is not screwed in, despite having a 'nut' shape.  It is held in by a U shaped clip from underneath.
