Default eBay knock sensor

anyone have an opinion on this? they're far cheaper priced from anything at the auto parts store.

just come to terms that it wont last as long.... these things are hit or miss but mostly miss

might be better to buy an oem one to save yourself the headache

Like they say... Do it right the first time so you don't have to go back and do again... Think about it, If it is a miss with that knock sensor. You will end up paying the same price for the on from the store or even more to have to replace the one you just bought. So save yourself the time and money$$$$ and just get the oem one.

depends.

What's the brand on the ebay sensor? I've bought Honda salvage parts from ebay a bunch of times with no problems at all.

btw, the oem one is about $150. The Borg-Warner (BWD) from my place with my discount is still $93.

Vindicator, it doesn't have a brand on it.

lately, i've also been getting oil in the radiator. i'm thinking my sensor went bad and ruined the HG. However, i don't have white smoke, and I don't have the milky oil in the engine.
