Location of temp sensor depends on facelift/pre facelift.
Wiring to the sensor is a blue wire and a brown wire, and the loom goes through the grommet under the fusebox.

The sensor goes in the passenger side brake duct, from the top, theres a locating place for it.

I've never seen that clip either! Temp sensor plug is a rectangular one, like the ones that connect to the headlamps, etc, and plugs straight into the sensor.
