Default Cooling fan temp sensor/temp gauge/timing belt

I have a bad coolant temperature sensor (for the cooling fan) thats mounted on the radiator.
Is that part available?
Does it unscrew from the radiator?
I dont want to break anything and the Haynes manual doesnt say much about it.
Also the temp gauge doesnt work. I've disconnected the wires to the sensor...jumped them, opened them....no response on the gauge?
any suggestions.
My car is a 88 740 turbo. How far should the Turbo gauge needle go under full throttle? Mine just bearly goes past 1:00 o'clock. This car is really lacking power. I believe it is the timing.
Next weekend I plan on replacing the timing belt. Any hints or tips?

Thanks,

Vic
