I'd go genuine all the way with temp sensors, I had a cheap one which failed within a few months.

Earlier models had a blue plug/sensor 4 pin iirc later have the green plug/sensor two pin and as dom says best to get an oem one i found mine on ebay and its from poland but was from an oem parts place and took 4 days to arrive and it was only about a tenner all in also had that code on mine and changed the sensor due to this but also needed a thermostat change to re=scanned mine after fitting both and no code
