cheap abs sensors

[moob]

Anyone had any experience of the abs wheel sensors they sell on eBay?

Noticed they only 50 quid, whereas cheapest I've seen them new was on euro car parts for 140.

Not had experience myself but make sure they're the right ones and intact. I don't know how they remove them in one piece because I've tried a few and they always break and have to be drilled out.

I have, bought one for a civic a year ago, my advise avoid completely waste of money. Save your money and buy the part from Honda. £200 aprox it cost me last time but it worked. Better than £50 and not working, the wiring tends to be corroded on the inside.

Ash, the one you bought from eBay, was it from a breaker?

The one I'm looking at is brand new.

Yeah it was from a breaker, looks ok that tbh.

Can now confirm if anyone is interested in saving a few quid - that the sensor I got from eBay for £50 is installed and working fine.

Eurocarparts charge £150 for the same part - genuine more like £250.

That's good to know, Genuine Honda are about £145, some dealers are stealers but not all.
