I am having trouble with the temp. gauge on my 2000 Jetta indicating overheating. I'm pretty sure it's a bad coolant temp sensor. The gauge shows overheating but I am not getting any boiling over in the resevoir. If the sensor is easily accessible I would like to change it myself. Can anyone give me an idea of where it is located?

At the drivers-side end of the head. If you have a 5-speed there will be 3 coolant-heater glow plugs in the same location.
