Very true, ill bet not many mechanics bother checking.
I was looking on the net at some after market ones for the vm diesel and
zooming in some of the cheapies there stamped with 98c instead of 88c.
Probably why there cheap.
Was looking around to see it anyone sold the elements as they just twist out of the housing as the oem jeep housing (italian made) have a slightly heavier housing construction than aftermarket ones and alot of brands use similar type elements but no one seems sell the elements seperately.
If you could find a quality element be alot cheaper.
Dayco want $250 ish and jeep want $400 ish , after market ones start at $30!!!
