Default Coolent Mystery

Hey guys quick question.

I have an A4 2001 2.8

The collent light comes on and I took to the local mechanic and they said they would need more time becuse they couldnt figure it out. My coolet light comes on and my engine temp is fine but the light comes on and my collect level is fine. I dont understand it.

The sensor in the coolant bottle. The only reason the light would come on is if you have low coolant or you are overheating and you say you have neither

Isn't the coolant temp sensor notorious for malfunctioning in these cars?

EDIT: Wait wait... the TEMP sensor IS indeed notorious for malfunctioning... but the coolant level sensor is known to kick the bucket as well, no?

What color is your temp sensor. If its green its the updated version but that still doesnt mean that its good. Usually the temp sensor kicks a check light too. I am still betting on the level sensor
