Hi,
Tried to get genuine from Vx but could only get by Friday, so ordered next day delivery from Autovaux.

Replacement crank sensor for my motor just arrived from Autovaux.

Has correct number on pack and invoice, looks correct, but is a no make version made in Italy.

Anyone used these??

Pattern sensors are hit and miss... It may be OK, it may last weeks, it may last years

It'll get you out of a hole but I'd advise ordering a genuine one as a spare for if/when it fails

i got a crank from eps facet and it didn't work well from brand new.. and it was more expensive than bosch wich is the original one

You all seem to have missed the key fact there.. have none of you ever owned a Fiat or Alfa?

Hi All
Re previous post.
It was not my intention to appear disparaging about anything made in Italy, but merely that this was the only identifying feature on the sensor, and not branded Bosch or Siemens as expected.

G.S.F. bosch crank sensor for v6 vauxhall engine, £26 all in, never used anything else, never had any bother, and they usually have them on the shelf

If convenient, and I realise it's not in this case, I would be sending it back directly. Not genuine. If advertised as such and your aware then fine, but if genuine expected, if possible, I would not fit it.

Italy - you were lucky - everything I buy these days seems to be made in China - Italians have been making top quality electricals for years!

Indeed, MotoGuzzi, Laverda and Ducati electricals were infamous: with the quality of lego and as hydrophobic as a fox with rabies!

There's nothing wrong with Alfa electrics. My mate's 1980 Alfasod had perfect electrics. Even the rev counter worked. When indicating left.
