Subject:Re: Coolant sensor LEAKING? (84 vanagon)

Hi Steve,

Be sure to buy only VW's original sensor with new tank.  Last spring I bought wild copy of the sensor (higher price than VW's original as I noticed later).  The system seems to keep coolant for 3 weeks..and then suddenly there was a large spot under the car.  Sensor has melted shapeless (lower temp plastic?).  The VW's original has been running well since that.
