Technicianit would not be a temp sensor it would be a level sensor . it is in the bottle where you put in coolant . simply put in some coolant and give the bottle a couple of whacks to free up sensor this will save you money and time

BGPilot March 18, 2013, 03:59ReplyEnthusiastMy Audi takes a VERY SPECIAL coolant that you cannot mix with other coolants! Be super careful. This is known as G12. You cannot get this coolant at Wal-Mart. It is usually a special order from other autoparts stores.
If your coolant is just a little low, try adding just distilled water.
Caution, though if your car does take the G12 or variant and your coolant is green in color, have it flushed and changed ASAP.
