Talking Ambient Temp Sensor?

Hi,

I am in need of help. I have just purchased my first Audi, 2007 Audi A4 2.0L sedan, and looking to see where the ambient temp sensor is located. Where does it connect to? I was told by the audi dealership that one of the connections from the radiator harness is for the ambient temp sensor. Pics would really help.

Thanks in advance for anyone's input.

The ambient air temp sensor should be behind the bumper/grille on the left side, in front of the A/C condensor. Sticks into a hole on a plastic bracket. A lot of times, if the car has ever had any front end damage, the bracket seems to rarely get replaced if it's broken except at the really good body shops. Can't recall if the sensor has a connector at the sensor itself or not. Some have an attached harness that connects to the main harness near the p.s. reservoir area. All I can say is, if it's that style, it'd be a 2 terminal connector. Sorry, no pics.
