Okay, I realize they were only $12 each, but these things are absolute junk...
BBAutomatico CPS sensor..

I pulled them out of the overnight package (which was totally unbent) and BOTH of them had BOTH thier mounting tabs broken and about to fall off. Also the guage and quality of the wires coming off it are terrible (aluminum conduit??)...
I love eastern cultures a lot, but I still can't bring myself to buy Chinese replacement parts for just about anything.
Looks like I'll be ponying up and buying the Bosch.

Who's actually running these on thier car and put some real milage on them....
OEM ones last 150k miles or so, so... what can we expect out of these replacements??
If I gotta pull the cam wheel and do all that crap in 30k miles to replace a defective part, it's not worth the $100-150 I save.
Also, that breakage shows a weak point in thier casting (inj molding) process IMHO. May be fine when you put them on, but I wonder what several thousand heat cycles will do to it.
I talked to Camilla over there (very good customer service) and she said she would give me a full refund.
