Eric, thanks much for your inspiring message about staying with original! I decided that you are correct, and I suffered through the bodily contortions necessary to crawl under the dash back and forth multiple times!
However, rather than go with the original sender unit which can so easily be broken, I decided to go with the electronic one from Skandix: https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts/electrics/instruments/gauge-coolant-temperature-electrical/1058477/
It installed exactly in the same position. I ordered the higher temp one and it's working perfectly.
Thanks again for all your help, guys!
