Well done, Pedro; that’s excellent news.   Thanks for taking the trouble to report back.   I, for one, was very keen to know how your test was going.

if you have a thermometer and a digital voltmeter to measure resistance, and you are interested in looking at why your car behaved as it did, you could connect 2 wires to the new sensor and then boil some water and drop it in and then measure the resistance as it cools down, say, every 10 degrees.   Then swap over the new sensor for the old one and do the same with the old sensor, or, even quicker, put the old one in the freezer for 10 minutes.   My guess is that you will see the resistance of the old sensor fixed at the same value, one that  corresponds to very hot on the new one.

Thanks again for the feedback.
