NOX - I'm feeling unwell...
Discussion
Feeling unwell mainly in the wallet department. Had a check engine light come on so had the car plugged in for analysis thinking "it's probably just a sensor". Yes, it was just a sensor. But...
... £500 for a genuine replacement NOX sensor and then labour for fitting.
That stung a bit.

I know what we pay as an OEM, £500 for a genuine spare part is a good price!
They are horrifically expensive and it wasn’t that long ago only Continental made them. Then Bosch joined the party, it’s been a while since I was directly involved so I don’t know if anyone else has developed one.

That seems to be the reality. One of those "must have" parts that can sustain a high selling price. Makes me wonder whether buying brand new cars, dismantling them and selling the parts online could be a viable business model. I can't think of any part that would be unsaleable. Might even be able to get contracts from the big insurance companies to supply their authorised repairers. Interesting thought.

After having recently replaced the crank sensor on my car from ECP and it not working, then trying an OEM one which was perfect... I am now all in with OEM stuff when it comes to sensors I think!
But for an NOX sensor, it's pretty much guaranteed that one from an independent supplier is the same as an OEM one. There aren't many people that make them, so it is almost certainly just a reboxed/repackaged oneGassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
