Anyone know the CHEAPEST place to buy a Crank Sensor for a 2.5V6?

Ive scanned some internet site and am getting prices from £40 - £70.

[Jimbob]

be aware on these cheap has often been proved to be false economy when they dont fix your problem.

Don't bother with a cheap one... You'll be replacing it again very quickly!

Check your part number... If it's the one ending 2006 I have a genuine one I picked up a bit cheaper that you can have for £50 delivered if that's any help.

[Elite Pete]

As already said, genuine Vauxhall is the only way to go with these.

Hi
That's the one for my car, so yes please I'm interested if I've not been beaten to it. How would you like paying.
When mine went last time I replaced it with a cheapy, but it has worried me ever since.

I'll give the OP a chance first but if he doesn't want it then it's yours!

I didn't send it back because I got it cheap and thought someone could benefit

Oh, and because I'd opened the packaging in my eagerness to fit it before I checked the Part Numbers

It's ok, let him have it. I think I've got one lined up. Thanks anyway

Hi Lazydocker
I'm having trouble sending a pm to you, can you pm me so I can reply advising my address.  How would you like paying, do you take Paypal.
Thanks

Buy the sensor from Vauxhall, cheap sensors are false economy, it won't last as long and you will end up replacing it a lot sooner

The way I read it Lazydocker is offering a genuine Vx item at a lower cost, rather than a cheap aftermarket  item.  Its on that basis that I am buying it.

Crossed lines here, I think. I read it that Tunnie was advising against cheap pattern crank sensors. Lazydocker's is a genuine part bought in error so should do you fine.

Yep... Genuine part, supplied in error but was at a knock down price as it was "old" stock on the shelf so Andyc did me a deal

Seemed too good a price to return it as I knew that someone here would eventually benefit

Lazydockers is probably the wrong one for your car mate.  Yours is probably part nº 90492061, whick has a plastic sensor end and the oval elecy plug.
