Default Dont buy ebay knock-off Knock Sensors ;)

Hi,
just thought i share this.
As i scrolled ebay i noticed a lot of different cheap Knock Sensors, all priced ~10-25$, and most claim to be genuine denso..
However, if you check out the profil of the sellers, all of them come from china...

so, since a knock sensor is only case, connector and a magnet, we thought what could go wrong...
And apparently the knock sensor goes wrong
So, don't waste your time with these scam parts, we had a bank 1 fault before, and now we changed both and now we have bank 1 + bank 2 fault...

Thanks China

So, if anyone is thinking about buying this crap, save yourself some time and buy real oem....

RockAuto also sells Genuine Denso knock Sensors as well. I usually avoid eBay because the counterfeit market is ridiculous from clothes to car parts and its getting worse.
