Just been looking on vauxhall car parts for prices of crank sensors but ive seen 3 different part numbers for the  Y26SE  I take it all  Y26SE crank sensors are the same connections and these part numbers are just from different makers 

It states "This is a new Vauxhall part"

Only buy genuine from a genuine Vauxhall dealer that you genuinely have to walk into... Anything else is a total waste of time and money and effort, and we will all say 'I told you so' in a very loud chorus when it fails

I take it that the sensors fail due to being wrongly routed and suffer from heat damage ? I noted that some have an aluminium wrap on the wire .

Partially,  but pattern sensors fail simply because they're shit...

Noted , i'll get a spare and look at the route the wire is at on the car . Is there a picture of re route , im guessing the original route was near to the manifold without looking .

I got a "genuine" Bosch one for my last 2.6 from Vauxhall World at Grays. Came in a lovely yellow & red bosch box with the part sealed in a plastic inner bag  cost £52 if I remember . . .  But it did not have GM on the bag   . .  failed after 3 months . 
So GM only from a vx dealer  . . the only way to go

My original[at least I assume so due to routing of wiring]failed at a shade over 130,000mls.It's replacement a genuine GM part failed after 600mls!!So much against advice on here I've gone "pattern"and so far no more problems after 1700mls.

Oh dear , do the Genuine come with a warranty at all ?

Pattern sensors are universally shite. Without exception. Reguardless of marque they are made for. Whatever car you have, omega or not, buy genuine.
