Default VDO sensor from Ebay

Anybody that bought them before?

Accurate read out?

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.nl/viewitem?itemId=370678745409&index=0&nav=SEARCH&ni d=18578284111

I hope the link works as its comming from phone.

Anyway user "hosefittingsuk" sells them

I damaged my original sensor and the sensor on ebay is 12 euro cheaper and postage is included already.

Single wire sensors always give a very inaccurate (noisey) read out, but it is what most gauges supply.

I've seen single wire sensors fluctuate as much as 10 degree's.

Real messy noise, two wire sensors have a dedicated ground and work 100% better with no noise.

Yeah the better the earth cables the better the signal will be. But easy to assume a 2 wired will work better yea!

You measured the noise on your car with ms? Earth cables improvement didn't help?
