Great stuff. Do you have one that replaces both the lateral and longitudinal sensors in a C4?

The unit we produce is a direct replacement for both the acceleration sensors used in the C4 - see attached screenshot from PET.

I'm not an expert in your cars, but PET shows 2 off fitted and no qualification of an option code. So I assume that they are used on C2 and C4.

They measure the tilt of the car in the sideways (transverse) and front-back (longtitudinal) planes, used for the ABS system. Any problem due to these sensors will be indicated by a warning lamp on the dash and a stored fault code in the ECU.

The abs uses the longitudinal sensor, if that gets clogged the abs can fail in a no-brakes kinda way without any warning lights, ask me how i know.

Good product John, meets a real need. Would you consider a reduced price for us c4 chaps that would need two?
