As some of you may remember I had an issue with my motorhome and the 'diesel particulate filter' 'differential pressure sensor' had failed. These cost around £200 from Fiat but are much cheaper on eBay. I purchased on for £50 from:
Newpart Automotive
Andrew Gosling
11 Bryant Avenue
Romford
London
Essex
RM3 0AP
United Kingdom
They have a rating of 32285 on eBay so although the part is most likely fake it did come with a 1-year warranty so I thought it was worth a chance. The sensor failed after a couple of months and I contacted them to get it replaced, they asked for the old one to be returned for testing. I returned to sensor and they have told me that it is not the sensor that they sent out to me and they have secret laser printing on the items. I only have two sensors the one they have sent me and the original one fitted by Fiat. I sent them a photo of the one I still have (just in case) and they say that one is not their either. So they are not replacing it.
I did then have a look at their negative feedback
So I would avoid them https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/newpartautomotive
I am going to complain to eBay.
I have now purchased an original Fiat part.

is not an original part
About as genuine as the BMW logo printed on the sticker
No a genuine VW part as shown in the photo
It was listed as new.This was untrue and the part was defective.Bad business .
AVOID ORDER BRAND NEW AND RECEIVE DAMAGED SECOND HAND
