My digital readout says all is well. Car does not seem hot.
Analog gage says temp is close to 260.
I am planning to replace the analog temp sensor. Where is this one located? How do I identify it to the parts guy? How much of a bitch will this job be?

I don't know C4's real well, but I do know that your digital reading's are normal and that the ECU is controlling the digital numbers, so your engine should be fine.

If there isn't a separate sender for your analog gauge, then your wiring or dash unit is suspect.
