Should these only be replaced when they go wrong or is it a more reliable/accurate upgrade for the stock part?

A welcome pressie if you like

What benefit does it actually give?
Say my black one was playing up, how would I know and what would be the effects of it?

Faulty signal to ecu/bad idling/cold starting i guess too, also dodgy gauge on the dash.
Cheap as on egay about £8

My temp guage has been doing somet wierd usually at a stand still where in goes down in temp then goes back to normal a couple times then works fine. Had it replaced by Awesome Sarah a year or so ago. only started a couple days ago. Toped up my car coolant as that was below the min mark see if that fixes it
Rekon I need to replace it again?

HI
It should not , be faulty
But keep an eye on the collant level
The expansion tank can get faulty too and think it is low when in fact it is not
But if it is low , keep an eye on it , top up when cold too

yeah i topped up first thing this morning. was oh so cold, well wanted to go back toa nice warm bed.
Il keep a eye on it dont think its gonna be a big problem
The temp sender sounds faulty, and can be sending the wrong signal to the ECU, for the little it costs, change it 
i think they all go wrong one day.. working for tps and we sell at least 3 per day.. think there 25.90 plus fat
Are the Genuine ones made by Febi?

On such a risk critical part, I wouldn't be tempted unless I could be 100% sure it would be oem.
No the gauge is for temperature, not a level measurer
I know that but if the sensor wasnt making cantact with coolant it would not report a temp would it?
Im not sure where the sensor is so im just guessing
It is in the coolant, that's how it reads the temp.
It is on the right hand side of the engine in the top coolant hose.
