keep getting a knock sensor cel so i have done a bit of investigation, i am a little miffed at the different prices


looking at GGR there is 3 diff types

GGS818 : Knock sensor WRX 9/92-

Subaru
£82.55 + VAT (£97.00)

GGS819 : Knock sensor WRX 9/96-

Subaru
£100.14 + VAT (£117.67)

GGS820 : Knock sensor WRX 9/98-

Subaru
£59.99 + VAT (£70.49)

of course mine would be the middle one thats the most expensive but the 3rd one (the cheapest) terminates in what looks like the same white plug, and there only 1 wire things by the looks of it, so what gives??

talking with one of my staff here, he told me his primera sensor was quotedat around £100 so he borrowedone fr the nissan factory destined for a micra and it was fine, can i fit the cheapest/latest sensor to my phase 1.5 MY97 wrx?

 

ignore the wireless keyboard typos

 

bumpf for the brainy techy people

 

the sensors all look like the same one to me. I would try the cheapest one and just change the wiring connector over if it is different to yours.

 

that is what i am thinking

but i cant believe the difference in price is down to the different connectors

the cheapest one, has the most extravagant lead LOL

 

update for this, i bought the cheapest one and the connector is exactly the same as the most expensive version (the one i removed from my MY97 car)

GGR have photographed it quite well so it looks different, but it apears it is not.

it is now sitting on my car, and not throwing any CEL codes like the old one used to do, result

 

Could be for the differing phase engines?

Phase 1

Phase 1.5

Phase 2

?

 

yes they are for the different phase engines, i posted the MY years above, a while back.

the original question was "why are they different prices"
