you guys can't use PET to find the part number and then put it into the search?

The belt sensor shows up as TEMP SENDING UNIT when plugging the part no in. Not confidence building although it may be the correct part. The description falls short also. In lieu of a complete list of every part (probably not realistic) Perhaps a better idea might be to focus more on common items. They could probably sort somewhat easily what they sold the last few years (maybe the top 200-300 selling parts?) list those and then leave the oddball parts for the old way.

the descriptions are always odd, but think it through.

The belt sensor is for the fan. The fan controls the engine temp. If the belt breaks, the temp rises.

Hence, temp sending unit.

Strange.

Sonnen shows the exact same description. Maybe it's a poor interpretation of the original German description, but "temp sending unit" seems to be the English description Porsche gives to the part. The PET I have shortens it to simply "sender."

It would be a valuable service to have a parts retailer create and maintain better descriptions for all of these parts for us (Pelican makes an effort here), but given the thousands and thousands of parts, updates, history, etc... I understand why we're stuck with these rather terse descriptions.

I've just tried to register on their site but it indicates that they don't ship to Canada even though they allowed my Canadian address when filling out the form??

I got the email the other day and gave it a whirl. Needs work for sure, and I gave them some input and they responded. Also got a call that they had forgotten to apply my RL discount, and the young guy I spoke to was pretty attentive. So, they are watching it and trying to refine it.

Must be written in "Quad logic"

So I ordered the old way and Phil confirmed as others have already said the site is a work in progress...

AN interesting note on my belt whatever you want to call it sensor, on the invoice from sunset, truncated, so you cant read the whole thing, but yet a new description:
1 1 0 993-106-035-00 BELT TENSI 140.07 91.19 91.19

Go figure!

Since they may change it in the future, I'll also ad at this time there was no PET picture of the part neither a pic on the parts own page. Hopefully that will change

The exact description in the current price list from PCNA is "BELT TENSION SENSOR".


Bosch actually publishes a hardcover 780 page / 4 language dictionary just for their part names. No part numbers, descriptions or anything, just names.
