Where is the coolant temperature sensor located in the Audi A3 and how can it be replaced?

Model: Audi A3 8L, MK 1 - Years 1996-2003
Part: Engine coolant temperature sensor

In this video, we can see where the coolant temperature sensor is located in the Audi A3 and how to replace it, which is a very simple operation. As shown, it is located at about halfway up on the left side of the engine, to our right when looking at the vehicle from the front. To access it, simply remove the plastic cover by unscrewing the bolts. In case we need to remove it, we first open the cap of the expansion tank to release some of the internal pressure, then we extract the lower block, using a screwdriver, and disconnect the connector.
