But would still need to know the correct placement, apparently these things are very precise. the 'precision' is only in that the exhaust gasses passing over the sensor need to be hot enough to excite the compounds within, so if you where to get a heated sensor then you would over come this problem...

Generic sensors from Demon Tweaks are £120 but they sell a standard 18mm boss for £7.50 ish which will take pret...

I've seen at first hand that sometimes they fail then catch the arm on the HC so they dont seem to be broken w...

Its a flow distributer, it doesn't take flow from one place to another, but makes sure that the suspension system get pressure before the PAS (pretty much exactly the same as the 'security valve'), which is why is you have a weak pump or a dodgy accumulator they give problems with the PAS but now wh...
