Subject: Re: Time for my occasional rant on part quality by 92Polo on 2012/5/1 14:28:28 Have you considered the possibility that there might be something causing it to fail? Granted I don't know what that would be, but a sensor such as that with no moving parts should work for years and years no matter who makes it. Don't get me wrong, I hate crappy parts as much as the next guy but in my experience if you have repeated failure of the same part, it's usually not the part to blame. Maybe something like corroded or flaky contacts on the wiring harness side? Perhaps when you plug in a new sensor it "cleans" the contacts slightly so it makes up good for a while and then corrodes back up? I ripped a brand new opti off of my car once because the pigtail that goes between the opti and the main harness had corroded up. The pigtail was brand new as well and had never been wet but it was sure messed up. |
