Some of the generics on ebay have a lot of negative feedback about failures. Youe 2 years of trouble free use is better odds than a shot in the dark...what brand did you buy ?

Based on personal experience, no more cheap sensors for me. They don't last. The OE grade parts (Huf) seem to last forever.

Were you able to get 4 years out of the cheap ones ?

Half of them died before 4 yrs.

I've still got 3 out of the 4 original sensors in our 2006 wagon. It's crazy.

If you prefer OEM, but don't want to pay AUDI mark up, the Denso/HUF are here:

I had to buy a complete set for an MBz two months ago. I found HUF and it was $140 for the set.

When the sensor failed in one of my wheels last year, the tire dealer also charged $140 for dis-mount, R/R of the sensor, mounting and re-balancing the wheel
