what is this sensor?????
disco-v8:
ok what is the coolent looking sensor intop of the 300TDI cylinder head?????
its in between the main head bolts under the rubber engine cover....
i thought it was something to do with the EGR system, but ive read some service books and they say that the coolent temperature sensor for the EGR valve is located in the thermostat housing...... ive looked at the housing and its got 2 large temperature sensors in, so im thinking 1 is for the aircon, just like my V8 is, and the other for the EGR......
so this then brings me to the problem of finding out what the sensor in the head is for
all help will be appreciated

According to my workshop manual it's a coolant temperature sensor for the ECM unit associated with EDC. Does your motor have EDC?
The EGR and instrumentation coolant temperature sensor is mounted, as you thought, in the thermostat housing (or somewhere near).

I just checked on Microcat...it says its a temperature sensor......not much help...I can't even find it on Rave
