Default computer problem??

recently changed the coolant temp sensor and then car would barely start and idle high. put the old sensor back but nothing changed. brought the car to a mechanic and he couldn't figure it out...is my computer done?
i did notice the new coolant temp sensor i recieved was more of a green color but suppose to work on my car as the original is blue....still it drove fine before with the blue one?

You need to take the car to a aftermarket audi shop that can run a VAG-COM on the car.
