Is it easier to just replace the entire hose or just the sensor? I'll tackle it over the next few days....

You only need to do the sensor.
I'd take back the part you bought and just buy part # 13628657300. Its labeled as a diff pressure sensor but its the same sensor on the overly priced entire hose assembly. I think oem is like $85 and oe is $50. |
thank you, unfortunately already committed to the complete unit but before I tear into it I was wondering if it's easier to deal with the few plugs of replacing the hose or if it's easier to just replace the sensor? I've looked but couldn't find a DIY of replacing the hose itself.
I say to myself how difficult can 3 plugs be; famous last words?? |
I have done a few for others, but only once with the hose assembly. Definitely easier to replace just the sensor In my experience. As long as you have the right surgical tools, it can be done in 30 minutes or less!
