PDC fault - help needed

Post by H4MP » Wed Apr 24, 2019 11:12 pm

Hi guys I have an M sport so the front outer sensors are a little different. I had a fault last year replaced the same sensor with a generic brand, Meat & Doria brand and it failed after a month or so. At best It was temperamental. Cut long story short ive bought a sensor from ECP for £55 but it is unbranded, should I use this sensor or should I be looking to buy an oem one? For some reason even though one sensor is faulty the full system is not working.

One bad sensor will knock the system out. always use genuine / oem.

I would buy a second hand one of eBay before I bought one from ECP.
When I first bought my e53 I bought a rear set second hand and 2.5 years later still working.

That’s what I’m thinking of doing using quarry motors in Sheffield .it will be genuine and I’m sure they are tested.
