EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE SENSOR

[clive]

  I HAVE A C250 TD '99 MODEL, ALL IS GOING WELL IN THE THREE MONTHS I'VE HAD IT. BUT THE OTHER DAY I NOTICED SOMETHING HANGING DOWN FROM THE NEARSIDE FRONT BUMPER. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION I HAVE IDENTIFIED THE PART AS THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR DANGLING ON ITS LEAD ,  I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE BOTTOM PLASITC WEATHER SHIELD WAS SPLIT .  MY QUESTION IS CAN SOME ONE TELL ME WHERE THE SENSOR NORMALLY LIVES AS I CAN'T SEE AN OBVIOUS MOUNTING PLACE ? WOULD I BE CORRECT IN ASSUMING THE DAMAGE TO THE BOTTOM WEATHER SHIELD HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS AND THE MOUNTING ASSEMBLE DISSAPPEARED WHEN THE DAMAGE OCCURED

It should be in the lower grille in the front Bumper.
