That's certainly a case for buying genuine sensors from genuine dealers that you genuinely walk in to/speak to.  :y

Makes me wonder what most local garages would have done.

Pretty much what I did with a scope about 17 years ago on a 3.0 Omega.  :y

And avoid egay etc, where its hit or miss if you will get a genuine part   (a few years ago, a study showed that 95% of branded items on egay were fake)

HTF can a company as big as Bosch wire the sensor in reverse?

Thank goodness that my replacement Bosch crank sensor worked straight away, and is still working fine. :y

To still have the same problem as one had before after fitting a replacement would drive me potty! ::)

Son in laws Mundano had to have numerous crank sensors a couple of years ago. Local dealers finally admitted that they were part of a bad batch. Been ok since. It's a handy old 06 TDCI that the whole family use if they need any crap dumped. ;D
