Well done and thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

You can count me in to purchase one of both of those sensors when available to purchase. That should "guarantee" that my PDK will never fail! LOL


Great job to everyone (and their wives!) who pursued this engineering and manufacturing challenge!

This thread is pretty incredible. It encapsulates everything that's great about Rennlist. People are taking on challenges with our cars in a thoughtful, data-based manner, with feedback from other smart members along the way. Thanks to everyone who's contributed along the way. I hope this sensor gets out to the public soon. Unfortunately, it won't be soon enough for me since I want to get my 987.2 Cayman back on the track this summer. So a couple of questions for the braintrust:

1) Does anyone see any meaningful differences in the sensors third-party manufacturers offer? Some require less soldering by the technician (fewer points of future failure), which seems like a positive. It sounds like the OP identified some differences in the sensors, the circuit, and the calibration approaches. Is there anything to be aware of before purchasing? Feel free to PM me if you don't feel comfortable sharing your opinion publicly.

2) There was quite a bit of useful conversation about the calibration approach and potential pitfalls. Any thoughts on the best approach? The point about battery disconnection is subtle and I haven't seen others mention it.

Thanks for the fantastic response and explanation. I, and I'm sure many others, find this useful. Maybe @Daugaard can comment on the calibration procedure, his challenges, and his resolution to the problem.
