Default Coolent sign in dash blinking all the time!
I checked the level of the coolent and it is fine when hot and cold. The light comes on almost immediatley with three initial beeps after I start the car.

Is it most likely just a bad Coolent Temperature Sensor? If so where can I purchase new ones. (I believe there's actually two correct?)

Check the connector on the bottom of the expansion tank.

Default There's only one Temp Sensor on an A4. It has 4 connections. 2 for the Gauge and 2 for the ECU.
Run Vag.com on the car see if an code is listed.
