water level sensor

my water level sensor (oem piece of plastic) craked at the threads which causes coolant to leak. Is there some aftermarket replacement for it, that is better? Or do I have to stay with an oem replacement from the dealer?

Maybe that's why I get the low coolant buzzer every month or so?? The car just sits in the garage an awful lot. At about 1 month intervals, I fire it up and 30 seconds later... buzzzzzzzz! Then I gotta fill'er up with 50/50... I should check that darndamn thing.

I have the same problem.

Can you explain in more detail, and perhaps add a photo.

I'm going to try and just replace it with a bolt until I get a proper repair. I'll post the size if I find something.

Thanks, Tony

The coolant leak at the water level sensor is for now stopped with a M12x1.25 bolt. If I cannot repair the sensor today, I'll order a new one tomorrow. Tony (aka: corsaconvertible)
