On the 1.8 it's up the back of the block above the O/S drive shaft.
Don't know about the 1.5

I think it's the same as the 1.6, and on that engine it's fitted on the engine block, passenger side front, above the gearbox. I'm not sure of the ancilliary layout on the Connect, but on the Focus, it's easy to get at when you remove the air filter housing
