Anyone know what goes wrong with the original nox sensors? I wonder if its a simple mosfet fail or a (more likely) aged sensor in which case perhaps replacing the sensor head is possible...
Edit what is that component bottom right, looks like it could be a battery?

I might put loads of silicon grease on my NOXEM when we install it  It does seem like it's closed shut for good, can't even see any gap between plastic and metal.
Re original NOX sensors they just last for a given mileage, like 100k. Sensor is the problem, not electronics, sensor simply clogs up more and more, or so I read. Mine is like that. INPA shows Offset value outside of range. Also it reports over 200ppm of nox when driving, not sure if that's supposed to be so much. |

NOxEM seems to have some quality issues, yet some have also had great success! Map-out seems better as it has no sensors/ecu etc yet no remapper has confirm all 3 stages in any my emails!
I'll call Map-tech and see whether they'll confirm the 3 stages.

The factory sensor n53 is always continental
