Should Uro parts just be renamed euro trash?, So how long should a uro cht last? Options

[buck toenges]

Just put in a cht for my '75 914 2.0L engine. After driving it 60 miles, the next day I tried to start engine and NO GO! So I just grounded out the F.I. harness cht lead and drove home.
I pull the cht and tested it and there is infinite resistant.
I just ordered 2 cht from 914rubber. I hope they have engineered their cht sensor and not rebadged uro sh*t.

Is there any way that the D-jet caused the cht to go bad? Do you think I can get my money back from parts geeks since I just bought it last week.

Did you contact URO before trashing them on the internet?

well I have had 2 uro cht fail on me recently. Since they are resistors I can not think that the F.I. system is to blame for the failure. If it isn't a fault of the cht than what could cause 2 new cht from dying so fast? I am not trying to trash anybody but I am not happy about 2 cht failing so fast.

The other question is how well do the 914 rubber cht work? Are they different than uro?

And How do I get info to URO? Do you have a PH# or e-mail? Will they get me replacements or am I suppose to fight with parts geeks?

I bought a uro cht sender that has a steel colored washer on the threaded area. Does this replace the copper washer? It isn't steel since it won't stick to a magnet.

Thanks,

Hi Buck, we sell well over a thousand of these sensors annually, and have sold more than 5,000 total. Our system doesn't show that we've received any complaints or had any returned as defective, so we'd definitely like to get your two sensors so our engineers can investigate. So we have it correct, according to your 2017 thread it sounds like your first sensor lasted from then until now, and the second sensor lasted 60 miles?

Will reply to your PM with prepaid return label details, and get your shipping info for no-charge warranty replacements.
(You could also return the recent sensor purchase to Parts Geek for a refund if you're within their return window, see https://www.partsgeek.com/aboutus.html.)

It’s because it’s not worth the hassle for most of us… mine failed after a couple weeks too. I threw the URO part in the trash and paid three times the price of yours for a NOS Bosch part. My point is, make a better part and we will all gladly pay more. No benefit to cheap Chinese resistors on the FI system.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got a lot of quality URO parts on my Porsche’s but these CHTs are hot garbage.

That's a good point. Sounds like a high quality CHT and a high quality ignition switch would pay dividends.

I must say I have some good parts from URO and some not so good parts.
