Was bored last night, so Bralley and I snagged a new coolant temp sensor from AutoZone and popped it in. Easy job - just remove coil pack and unplug wires to coil pack and CAS. Takes a 19mm wrench but easy access.
My car is a 1.8, not a 1.6, but this photo is accurate enough:

The one with the green plug is what we replaced.
Reset the ECU via battery disconnect, took the car out for a spin and did our best to initiate "limp mode" on Route 28 (high RPM, high speed, long-ish periods of time) and couldn't do it.
Two of the three codes went away. All that's left is the EGR code - not surprising given the um, sheared off EGR system.
