Hey guys,

I have been searching around about what sensors people were using on their flex setups.

It seems that a lot of people have had good time using the GM sensor (Part ID: 13577394)

I just wanted to get peoples thoughts on where they have purchased these, they seem to range dramatically in price depending where you are sourcing them from.

Can something like the following be trusted? (location is china)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/13577394-New-Quality-Flex-Fuel-Sensor-For-2011-2012-GMC-Terrain-Savana-4-Door-/251958096362?hash=item3aa9df71ea&vxp=mtr

From what I understand I will need the following harness as well.

I would love peoples thoughts or even links to where they sourced theirs from because I can see some places like Haltech sell them for $100+

As well as Zeitronix selling them for $179

Im running a Haltech one in mine. I think it was around $100... can't remember

From what I can tell reading other threads, it seems the Haltech is just a rebranded GM unit, so you're paying a lot for the brand name.

Online it's around the $200 mark actually so far more than these ebay ones.

I just don't want to skimp on something so crucial but also don't want to make the mistake of paying through the roof for a rebranded part.

Hopefully a few guys will jump in here and link me to their ebay purchases they were happy with or something else.

I bought a Haltech one for the evo, just so I know it plugs straight in with no issues, but I am in the market for one to put in the Stagea, heading down the Link Fury path at this stage with flex.

Anything I find in the US is crazy expensive with shipping since the dollar is shite. I might just buy the Link one.

I'm running an adaptronic so can't go the Link Fury.

But you can pick up the wiring harnesses pretty cheap for the GM units so shouldn't be too hard to connect up.

Just don't want to find the ones coming out of china ebay are cheap copies.

If someone has a link to where they got it previously then that would be ideal.

A few people on other threads have suggested that they have just purchased them off ebay for around $60

Same old story, buying from a trusted source or playing the ebay gamble to save yourself a 50. Not worth importing one from the US at the moment, so unless there is someone with old local stock I wouldn't bother.

I know a manufacturer with plenty of stock locally, they don't use them anymore. :P

Be very careful buying cheap Ethanol Content Sensors......we tested some that were bought in from Asia that were supposed to be genuine, and even had the correct markings and branding, but the readings were all over the show!

The ones we have come from Europe and are the genuine article

Cheers for the link, it's nice to see that these come with the plug and also some nice fittings.

Shipping is a nice price as well.

Holden mate, I doubt they will need to hang on to their stock for much longer, and they aren't using them anymore. ;)

Do you know the part number from Holden? I've often wondered if they would stock them but wasnt real sure of the part number and havent found time to go and ask about it. Or is it the same as the part number mentioned in the first post?

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
