My 2000 S did the exact thing...
I replaced the 'not so cheap' sensor' next to the oil cooler. It's a pain to get out and back in due to the length of it... but doable! The problem I had with mine was that oil had seeped up into the connector portion of the sensor and basically coming out around the pins. Sorry didn't take a picture of it, but basically after the sensor swap everything worked normal again.

Does anyone have any suggestions what else might be the problem?
Thanks
