Between the wild price swings on the replacement part and the frequency of having to replace it I would think there is some way to improve the design. A sealed diaphragm over the sensor to isolate it or some way to neutralize whatever is ruining it. Maybe just the mounting orientation?It is likely that nothing 'breaks'. What I think happens is that the moisture gets into the sensor substrate and either causes the signal to change or causes some bond to be weakened that changes the signal output.
Rockauto suggested the EGR pressure sensor too (see screen grab below), but I don't see anyone chasing down that component being a part of the issue. Or the EGR. I'd be curious how all these connect and whether a fix is somewhere else... Problem being it's a no-no fooling with emissions systems even if you improve them.
The change out has made a big difference for me even after I thought it hadn't gotten so bad.
This thread should be a sticky.
