try it with the engine running you may get that fault if you dont have the engine running.

but its on the front of the block on the opposite side to the dipstick, its the only sensor on that area of the block

you might get incorrect RPM signal fault code if the engine isnt running too, that's nothing to worry about :cool

give it a service and fit a new temp sensor (the blue one) and go from there.
