CRANKSHAFT SENSOR 'FAE'?
« on: 07 January 2012, 09:52 »
About to buy a crankshaft sensor 'TODAY' to resolve car stalling problem on my MK4GTI

VW want £100+VAT for a crankshaft sensor(out of stock)
GSF want £60+VAT for their more expensive OEM version(out of stock)
Euro car parts want £60+VAT for crankshaft sensor made by manufacturer 'FAE'(in stock)

Anyone know if FAE are crap or decent?

Sweet!
Bought the FAE and got the 25% off worked out £45'ish inc VAT...was a pain trying to remove the original part as the oil filter got in the way but after about 30mins managed to get it out with ye faithfull mole grips!
Running as it should so far..!

Thanks for advice and info guys:)
