Wheel speed sensors 2008-2011 vs 2012 - 2014
Hi all,
I have a faulty front wheel speed sensor, does anyone know what (if any) the differences are between parts A2045401817 (2008-2011) and A2049053005 (2012+) is? My car has the P30 package with the 2 piece brembo's.
I was talking with the guys from FCP Euro and they said the fitment was better with the 2012 part, but wouldn't the components be the same across all model years? Or did they change something in the face lift models?
FCP Euro can't get that part for some reason but they have the older one. I can get it locally in NZ but its expensive. MB NZ want $310 (NZD) and its about $125 NZD at FCP plus I need to order bunch of service parts from them anyway so will save on the shipping.

Other MB parts sites show them as unique parts for PFL and FL models. I would stick with the correct part for you car.
I have '09 P30 and I replaced my sensors with A2045401817 a couple years ago and have had zero issues.
