Non genuine crank and cam sensors tend to fail in fairly short order. Cheaper to buy genuine once that to first pay for cheap rubbish for such items before then buying genuine.
Also just because Delphi might have made some factory Omega items, that doesn't include crank or cam sensors as these were made by Bosch...
ps what's bllx fud when it's at home?
ok so no experience of delphi sensors then 
.
it's not non genuine, it is a genuine delphi part
a crank sensor is not a complicated piece of kit. its just a transducer, no moving parts. any reputable manufacturer should be able to make a reliable one.
having said that the original bosch brand ones seem to be one of the most unreliable OE parts of the mig, 90% of my mig outlasted the bosch crank sensor.
Crank sensor failure is a common fault, and not just on Omegas - it happens across
all makes. And the advice is always the same; pattern parts are a poor risk and often the cost saving is negligible. When I priced mine, a branded pattern part was about £10 cheaper than a genuine one; that simply isn't worth it.
You're right, a crank sensor isn't a complicated part. But its design and construction make it extremely susceptible to manufacturing and quality control issues. Those are exactly the places where economies can be made, which doesn't bode well for cheaper parts. This reasoning does not necessarily apply to all pattern parts though; there are many suggested
genuine only here that I don't see a need for.
