Default So there are REALLY the best CPS replacements???

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.

Send them back or at least email Luciano. The GBs bought 100's and there was none of that.

I bought two and they were good. Still have a spare if needed.

Default 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.

Default I've got 15k+ on mine and it's fine so far *knocks on wood*

although if I had to replace it again I'd try to find the Bosch/German equivalent.
