Default PF01 Replacement or alternative?

Hi guys, havent posted on here for AGES. Just a quick question, I think my PF01 sensor maybe playing up. Is there a replacement or alternative that can be sourced? Or even the PF01 repaired? Couldn't seem to find one. Don't wanna have to go L8 and PF09 really. I'm currently on a L6.

Thanks!

If a pf09 is available you could use one combined with a conversion cable so it works on your current setup

So i've been reading about this. I didnt think the PF09 was compatible with the L6 AT ALL? even if you change over wires etc?

You can't, as PF09 does not contain a switch.

I was under the impression that they were interchangeable, just that the sweeping was reversed but i guess i was wrong sorry for misinforming you

Physically they look the same and have the same connector, but as I say PF01 contains a switch, at closed throttle the switch opens and the ECU looks for this signal to activate idle strategies.
