Its the yellow sensor on the back of the head for the ecu

The brown one controls the cold start valve iirc

This info is 100% correct....

The S1 and early S2 had 1 coolant temp sensor underneath the inlet manifold in the centre and had a yellow plug on it. This is for the fueling system

The brown one is a thermo time switch and is only to control the cold start valve.

The later S2 88 and 90 spec had an additional sensor on a T peice at the back of the inlet manifold near the runners for cylinders 1 and 2. This is for the ignition system.
