Been struggling starting my car for a while, especially when its cold. I would turn the ignition key a few times and then usually by the 5th turn of the ignition key, the engine stays running, but sometimes the engine won't stay running until the 8th or 9th turn, if the temperature is below freezing. An RAC mechanic came to take a look at my car and said that the engine coolant temperature sensor needed replacing. I took my car to a garage and they replaced the sensor, and that solved that problem for a day. The following day my car went back to the way it was... I think the engine coolant temperature sensor wasn't fitted very well? I just want to locate it so I can try see if that is the case. Could anyone send a photo or try explain where I need to look to find it.
Thank you
