   On the rear of the throttle body, I would take a picture of it, but it's raining and I'm a wimp

   Its not really the sensor that gets gunged up its the part of the throttlebody it sits in.

   two torx bolts IIRC, T20's? Just undo, wipe with a clean rag (a good wipe) re-attach wires and do back up! As the meerkat would say, simples.
