General Comments:
This car is awful. I love the way it drives, but it is constantly in the shop, nothing is covered under warranty and their customer service is horrible. I will NEVER buy another VW and have told all my friends to steer clear as well. Though it's a cute car, and it handles well, that means nothing when you have to put every cent of your paycheck into fixing it every month. I just got the car back from the dealer (where they were "fixing" more electrical problems) and I had the EPC light come on LITERALLY 30 minutes after leaving. Volkswagen does not care about their customers or the quality of their product.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I was just wondering how much it cost to replace the faulty temperature sensor? I think mine is going out... and was just wondering how much this kind of thing usually costs?
