I recently bought a new water temp sensor for my vt and have no idea where it is located :/ the temp on the dash raises for a moment even tho the engine isnt actually hot then returns to normal so i first replaced the coolant temp sensor this didn fix the problem ...

cheers

sounds like air in the system not a faulty sensor

I think you are confused, there is only one coolant/water temp sensor on the vt's, which is under the thermostat

There is a bleeder valve just above the thermo, use this to bleed out the system so that the temp don't go stupid at all

ummm...the cooling system will always do that when it is cold. The thermostat doesn't open til 90 odd (I think) degrees, so you should see the temp start to riase, then drop when the thermo opens the first time.
If this is happening after the car is up to temp, then i'd be checking for other issues.

you gotta be carefull mate when u replace the TS. first open the bleeder and the collant cap when the car is very cold then remove the old TS and plug the new one. reason for opening the bleeder is let the air escape upon replacing the TS.
