94WRX IS IT OK TO PUT A NON GENUINE SENSOR IN OR NOT.I HAVE THE RED BLACK AND WHITE WIRE THE ONLY ONE ON OFFER IS A BOSCH ONE .TWO WHITE WIRES ONE BLACK.SUBARU UK ARE QUOTEING UPTO 6WEEK DELIVERY!
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF A FAULTY ON(JUST SNEEKED THROUGH MOT)

 

We use the Bosch ones and they are brilliant - once you figure out the wiring colour codes. Call me Tuesday if you like and l'll talk you through the next move. David API

 

If the bosch one, is the one Halfords supply, (i think code L300), then i have one fitted in my car, had it around 5 months, cost £25, and works fine.

Sorry i cant remember for definate how i wired it ....but i think its the whites that go together, as thats the signal cable to the ecu, and the others dont matter they are not polarity sensitive as thats the heating element.... (maybe someone could confirm this)

WELL THANKS FOR THE ADVICE. I WAS WORKING IN SHEFFIELD SO I POPPED IN THE SCOOB CENTRE SHEFFIELD .HE SAID THE BOSCHE WILL WORK BUT NOT AS THEY SHOULD. HE HAS MONITERED IT ON HIS SUBARU ELECTRONIC DEVICE. HE ALSO SAID THEY DO NOT LASTAS LONG AND CANNOT TAKE THE HEAT.HE INSISTS ON THE ORIGINAL SENSOR £133

 

If he is offering a genuine one for £133 snap his hand off! GGR quote £189 + vat!
