As title really.

 

Anyone know who manufactures these for VW...?

 

VDO...?

 

Trying to track down a reasonably priced replacement before giving in and paying VAG prices.

 

Cheers in advance.

Stuey,

 

I'm not 100% who manufactures them but I've got one that I removed from the VR6 I broke. It was fitted last year and I reckon has only done about 2000 miles at the most. It looks brand new mostly because it pretty much is! Here's a pic, if you're interested I only want £20 for it. Oh, and its a genuine VW item, not an OEM/pattern part.

 

 

Cheers

 

Tom

Tom, I may just take you up on the offer. Do you have the original receipt by any chance...?

If you did them I think we can call it a done deal.

 

Anybody know the manufacturer..?

It made by Bosch in this case but other sensor parts are SWF.

Thanks RW1, had a funny feeling it might be Bosch.

Tom, thanks for the kind offer but I decided to buy new.

 

I've found a geniune bosch item for £50 so i'm gunna go for that and keep my current one for a spare.

No worries mate, the invoice is in with the pile of service history I got with the car and to be honest I haven't had a chance to even look through it yet.
