It sounds like the dealership may be treating the symptom and not the cause.... One would first need to know if this is an early build or a late build...

Mention has been made of the EBP delete strategy that is part of the programming for early builds.... This isn't the best program in the world and I would have liked to see this issue handled differently. FWIW, this was FSA (recall) 06E17.

Now, the big question... how is the EBP sensor failing? This could be an important clue as to why it keeps failing... Additionally, if yours is an early build, there would be neither the need nor a purpose for replacing the sensor...

Lastly, we (at the dealership) don't really get any say as to what program will be installed at the time of a reflash.... rest assured it will be the "latest and greatest" but it will also be the appropriate programming as decided by the scan tool... Someone with a little knowledge of the system can "force feed" a different strategy but this could be counterproductive.
