water temperature sensor?
Hello! suddenly after some "spinning around" the water temp showed 0 celsius....
and never worked again...
when i turned the ignition to the "ON" position the red bulb which shows "add coolant" turns on , and when i turn on the cars engine it goes OFF again....but the temp stays to zero point all the time....
The thermostat seems to work cuz i saw the fans working....
Also an electrician took off the speedometer, etc and checked it and told me that the "needle" of the water temperature is working right
What should i check? is there any sensor that may have been off and where can i locate it?

do you have a stock or aftermarket water temp gauge?
It could be a bad coolant temp sensor, or it could be that your gauge **** the bed(though that's less likely).
If you're using the stock gauge, I wouldn't worry about it much and just get an aftermarket unit. As RP put it "the stock gauge has 3 settings. Off, On and 'You just cooked your motor'."
