    What's wrong with this picture

    So I order three of these
    Attachment 20985
    It so strange that something was sanded away from this part.
    OEM PART # 06E905163.
    I opened up the second one, same thing.
    Third will be a charm, bingo.
    All three of them have the same section sanded off .
    Anyone has any clue?
    I will contact them to find out why.
    (I'm not going to mention the name yet)

    Should be where the brand is displayed (four rings and vw symbol).

    The part is used on other motors and even suppliers will outsource their design to other suppliers. It's a g40 sensor very low chance the part is fake or crappier than others

    Bingo!
    If the Audi symbol was there then the reseller would have to sell it for a higher price since it would be considered a "Genuine Part".
    Without the vw/audi symbol, that would be considered a "OEM part"
