Default Coolant Temperature Sensor

1998 A4 2.8L: So my sensor is shoot. I'm looking a Rockauto for the replacement and there a many to select from. My sensor is the square type so I can narrow the search to those. Does anyone have a favorite that they would use? See below. Thanks in advance.

Thanks JKU16. There seems to be two different color sensors. Mine looks to be a dark blue or green. The blue sensors in the pictures seem to be a bright blue. It's a little confusing.

Default My old one was light blue as well

Maybe the previous owner of your A4 changed the sensor on yours before? I'm not so sure but the one I removed from my car was a blue 4 prong square sensor identical to the Beck and arnley one
