Frequently asked questions
While the crankshaft sensor tells the ECU engine speed and position, this sensor identifies specifically which cylinder is on its power stroke — together they allow correctly sequenced fuel and spark delivery for each individual cylinder.
Super good! They came through with the part I needed, quickly and at a fair price! Thanks, and I definitely recommend!

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
