2012 VW Beetle Ambient Temperature Sensor

Hello Guys !
I have a 2012 VW Beetle 2.5L base.
The car been in accident and I bought it as a salvage title. I replaced everything with OEM parts.

Now I have the check engine light on. I took the car to a service center and the scanner shows the following "Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit", error code "P0070" - Attached.

The radiator fans are on most of the time.

- I really wish to know where is the ambient air temperature sensor is located and where does the wiring rout to/from it?
- The outside temperature should be displayed somewhere next to the clock on the dashboard? I cant't find it may be because of that sensor?

Your quick response is highly appreciated !
Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,
ROY

I think it is located behind the front bumper on the left side:
