Default Urgent Help with Coolant Temp Sensor

Hi all,
I started changing the coolant temp sensor on my 2005 Audi A8L with the 4.2 40v.
I took it out and tried replacing it with the new one, and whilst I was testing it revving it high, my friend was looking for leaks and the sensor popped out and a coolant geyser occurred.
I've tried multiple times now and the sensor keeps flying out every time. The clip seems to be holding onto the O-Ring, and the sensor flies out, yet the O-Ring stays in with the clip. Anyone did this before and can help me, please?? I need my car as it's my daily.

sounds like the clip isn’t very strong or it’s the wrong one. Did you buy a new clip? Maybe use jb weld or a tiewrap as a temp fix.
