Cyl Pressure Sensor in USA???

[McRat]

This new cylinder pressure sensor is the first of its kind to be sufficiently reliable and economic for
mass production. German project partner BERU has already started to manufacture and market
pressure sensor glow plugs incorporating Sensata sensors at its Ludwigsburg headquarters. The first
engines using these plugs are already being exported to the USA. And there is tremendous interest
from European car manufacturers to incorporate these innovative products in their cars to meet
forthcoming EURO 5 and EURO 6 emission standards.

What pray tell is getting these? Could be an OTR truck, but I don't think so. What diesels are being sold in automotive applications today?

OK, it's the 2009 Jetta TDI. Time to visit Volkswagen.

It's an M10 thread, and looks alot like an LBZ glowplug.

I had read about this back in 2006, and tried to contact Beru to get an "engineering sample" but they weren't good with that.

I bought an aftermarket sensor, but now that I have LBZ heads on Casper, it won't fit.

So now you want to sell me the old sensor
