Price of EGT sensor for leon fr tdi?

Hey guys as some will know, i got my leon fr tdi dpf deleted, and the EML has come on, apparantly a common problem is for the Exhaust Gas temperature sensor to go. I will find out for sure if it is this on a diagnostic tommorow, but am wondering what price the sensor is and if it is easy to fit? ANy help would be appreciated cheers

After having the dpf delete done to my car which i am more than happy with. My Engine Managment Light came on. Turns out after getting a diagnostic to be-

""Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor, P1958, Bank 1, Sensor 2, Short to B+"
That is what through my dash light up."

I am just wondering how easy it is to replace this part and where this specific sensor is located? Pictures would be perfect, but any form of info would be brilliant guys. There doesnt seem to be any adverse effects but i would like to replace it and get the dash light off. Thanks guys in advance

It doesnt actually tell you the sensor name lol and also i cant see exactly where he is as the pics are to close up, does anyone have any idea about where Bank 1, sensor 2 is?

itll be in the downpipe, shortly behind the turbo, and it probably wont come out without a bit of a fight.

not cheap either!

Bank 1 is the first set of cylinders in a 'V' format (in a V8 it would be cyl 1,2,3,4. bank 2 would be cyl 5,6,7,8) as the leon is a 'straight 4' then you ignore this

Sensor 1 is closest to the block, Sensor 2 is next along the exhaust, and so on....
