if the vehicle is consuming water, that means there is a leak or the engine is burning it, find another mechanic who can properly diagnose the issue. You can perform a cooling system pressure test to find the leak more quickly than just running the vehicle. Your current mechanic only changed a sensor, which is not a fix.
