If that's the right hand side of cylinder head looking from from of vehicle you're in the right place.

On my 2002 1.4 BBY I seem to recall the sensor plugged directly into the cylinder head and lies north-south, i.e. front to back.

It might have been located in the elbow/thermostat housing in other models.

It should be held in by a circlip/spring clip.
