I bought some aftermarket ones the boot was very stiff to pull down. After a few months in ended up putting the factory ones back on… massive improvement even though one is weak it was miles better. So to answer your question buy genuine.

I'#039m not sure exactly if the 2nd sensor is just a check sensor or if it actually influences the fuel trims in anyway. On the forums I'#039ve heard it'#039s only there to test the cat efficiency and doesnt actually influence fuel trims but one of my mechanic buddies claims it does influence trims.

Re: What did you and your MKV do today?
Last Poster: ZoliWorks in Mk5 General Area on November 15, 2024, 09:13:08 pm
Decided to allocate some funds to the car again this month and did a suspension refresh. New Lemförder sway bar end links, new Bilstein B4 sport front and rear shocks, Eibach Pro-Kit coils from my old Jetta (7k km on them tops) and new dust/mud guards for the shocks along with new Lemförder strut mounts front and rear.
