Think TPS has just robbed me(in plain daylight)

Just purchased a temp sensor for my mk3 gti 8v @ £30 inc vat also inc rubber ring and clip.

Just looked on egay,the same exact fooking one,same plastic clip,and same yellow ring

Someone please tell me the one from TPS is better than the one on ebay
with a difference of £25

I wouldnt mind but didnt even solve my problem

The listing on ebay states nothing regarding the quality and make of the sensor.

did TPS state OE quality?

tps is o.e stuff, so dealer prices (and I guess they sold at full retail at that price...let me know the part no)

It is better to use genuine if you can.

This. But then again, considering it takes about 30 seconds to replace, I'd rather go cheap as I doubt u would have to replace it 6 times to get the same amount of time before the oe one fails.

nope TPS all the way on these items, the mk3 engine platform with all sensors has enough issues as is, change it once rather than faff about numerous times with crappy ebay ones!

Not just that mate, I wouldn't trust them to give as decent reading.

Worth the extra money, I got a genuine one for free and made a difference when I replaced it.
