I agree that OEM parts are the best and I will probably buy one here for $24.26 but if you can buy the similar size coolant level sensor, which just a magnetic switch - a magnet that opens/closes contact for $10 or less ?? why not? I just do not know if it possible.

tkamiya, where did you see the sensor for less than 20 dollars? Please, post the link.
