Hi guys I have a hard fault code P0183 it is a fuel temp sensor high voltage. I want to replace the sensor. Does anyone know the part number or where I can purchase one of these, without buying a lot of stuff I don't need?

The temperature sensor is built into the fuel head. I think you have to replace the entire fuel head. Here is a topic from last year: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=75043&p=786943&hilit=P0183#p786943

The fuel head is part number 68043089AA

You will also need a new wiring kit: 68043086AB

About $100 if you shop around the internet.

Thank you! I appreciate this as no one seems to know where the sensor is

I suspect that's where the sensor is but frankly I'm not positive. If it is there it's the passenger side sensor. Two thoughts:
1. if you have the 1st gen filter head (driver side plug smaller than passenger as opposed to same size and blue) just go ahead and get the 2n gen filter head as you likely should switch anyway. Note though that the new wiring is for the fuel heater plug so if the fuel temp sensor issue is in the wiring too the sensor a new 2n gen filter head won't fix the issue.
2. whichever filter head you have you might just unplug the passenger side sensor and see if the code clears after like 3-5 drive cycles or if it can be cleared and if so does it stay cleared. This assumes you are located in an area that's not still suffering from extreme winter cold. In the latter case try unplugging the sensor; cleaning the contacts; applying some dielectric grease and replugging to see if issue goes away.
