Hi Folks,
What are peoples thoughts on the O2 sensors with the coaxial connectors?
Have they proven more reliable than the old Molex?
Are they harder/easier to use?

Thanks,
Jason.

im using them in boris and my homebuilds

yes much more reliable - especially if you get them wet or flood your unit - just whipe clean with a cloth.

Ive had 4 full caustic floods on boris and maybe teh same number on homebuilds and the coaxial cables are still as good as new as they are potted you just wipe them over with a rag.

I wouldnt buy a unit that uses molex again, even IF the wire ends are varnished that doesnt seem to stop corrosion - just ask the classic owners
