Bar code on wheel sensor.

[AndyR]

Hi all, working on astra today, getting ready for m o t. 

Whilst checking drive shaft gates and steering rack, brake pipes etc. I noticed that on the cable going to front wheel bearing there is a tag with bar codes and the date 

1997 09 30. 

Is this an assembly date, or whenit was fitted.

The car os 52 reg.

That's an odd one Andy, certainly has a date of 1997 but would have been hanging around somewhere for many years before being fitted to your car.

Which is odd as I though cars were built with the 'just in time' method of parts supply

A friend mentioned that it could be a date it was quality controlled. But again, why would it have sat about so long before being fitted to the car??

One of those mysteries that will probably never get answered..
