Cars running sluggish...

It can cause the poor running mate , remember what this sensor is doing telling the ecu the engine temp therefore determines the injection pulse width

It's crazy how we are charged $70 for a part that costs ~$30 in the US. I need to get one too so maybe we could order a couple from the link provided above to split postage?

With the dollar value it doesnt make sense to buy such a cheap part from the US???

Yeah support your local parts place in these hard economic times, or they wont be there when you need em.

If that was the case we'd all be in Falcons and Commodores. I've had my share.

If it saves me $30 I don't see why I wouldn't.

Nice theory, but I've dealt with locals who, to be honest couldn't organise a p*ss up in a brewery (and I won't name names). As a matter of fact I'm chasing parts now from a local, and have been for weeks, that I could have picked up weeks and weeks ago from O/S but I'm just being nice and patient and wearing it.

If they are not there in the future then it won't be a mystery to me as to why.

Really the part in question used to be avalible for $5 US not to long ago from Volkswagen in the sates until Volkswagen jacked the price over there to $20 US so you tell me how parts suppliers here justify upwards of 70 dollars for the same part?

* UPDATE *

I have sourced a new sensor and I have read up on the Vortex thread, hopefully I will swap it out tomorrow morning.

I just want 1 last piece of information to be sure. The vast number of threads refer to loss of Coolant ranging from a bit to a Litre.... can any one tell me if I will need to prepare myself with coolant as well. I plan to do it 1st thing in the morning so everything will be cold, and I will depressurize the coolant reservoir.
