You've gotta...
take the cap off the coolant reservoir first, to relieve pressure, then put it back on before removing the sensor. You shouldn't loose more than a few ounces of coolant if done right.

I did the same thing.. when the engine was warm...
sprayed me in the face.. haha (but I was ok)...
Just make sure you re-seat the new sensor correctly or else when the collant heats up it'll start spraing out everywhere again... and Audi collant ain't cheap!

*LOL*... it coulda been worse...>>>
the spraying collant didn't bother me... it was the feeling dumb part that I didn't realize that collant is under pressure, especially when hot! hahaha... (doesn't it say that on all radiators? "do not open when hot")
