The only thing I'd be aware of is that if a code is thrown for a sensor, a faulty sensor is not always the culprit. It's possible that there could be another issue eg electrical/wiring. I know this from experience having replaced an extremely difficult to reach knock sensor on my other halfs CRV due to a code - EML came back on, same code. Luckily for me the genuine sensor was only pennies, but it was an absolute pig of a job for nowt!

The cheaper ones seem to fail from after a few months and some cause errors coming back.

If you just google the sensors you see the cheaper ones, but then when you actually try to get the proper compatible one from the sites, the price jumps. If anyone can find a compatible one for a 2013 MK3 Octavia Petrol 2L VRS 220, be my guest!
