« on: 17 January 2014, 15:04 »

buy from GSF. It will cost £35 or so but will get a quality part. It is a tough job so no point in puting in a cheap part. If you can afford OEM then get it...mine died on me in the middle of the night and that makes you realise that it is just not worth £20 to put yourself through all that trouble...but maybe the £14 crank sensor
will last...but there must be a reason for the difference in price....like Runway tyres vs Michelins...

Unless VW are using the same unit on a current car they will only supply you the same OEM spec part you can buy at ecp or from our forum sponser :wink:
It is true that the original parts were better than what you can buy now, but that's just the pitfalls of old cars and low margins on pattern parts

I bought a crankshaft sensor from GSF about a year ago, I paid £50 and it's starting to cut out again, bringing up oil light. So now I'm just going to buy one from dealers and try that. I've read that GSF sensor are prone to failing.

I worked in Driffield (at the motor spares place on middle street a few years back  :whistle:). If you want to collect let's say £45 (I am working in a unit in very central Selby at the moment, pm me if you need full details)
