Bosch Automotive 16978 Premium Original Equipment Oxygen Sensor - Compatible With Select Audi A4, A6, A8, Allroad, S4, TT; Volkswagen Beetle, Cabrio, EuroVan, Golf, Jetta, Passat, Phaeton, Touareg +

Works as intended

I had an O2 sensor fault. The dealer wanted more than double for just the same sensor, so I decided to look around for an alternative. This part showed as being compatible with my 2003 Audi allroad 2.7T, in additional to several other makes/models. In case you were unaware, Bosch is the manufacturer of many of the VW/Audi parts, including O2 sensors. Upon initial inspection, I found the replacement to appear to be identical in both shape and construction as the original. It was easy to install, and simply worked. The kit comes with 2 different wiring harness housings. One of which is pre-installed. For my application, I had to swap out the housing to the other which was included. Unfortunately the included instructions do not show much about this part of the process. If you are not familiar with VW/Audi wiring housing, I strongly suggest searching for a how-to and/or video on how to remove the cable terminals from one housing and install them into another. It's not difficult, but does require the know-how, otherwise you can damage/break the housing and/or terminals. Summary: Item was compatible and worked flawlessly. Easy to install, with no fitment issues. This O2 replacement is identical in shape, appearance, function, and quality as the original, but at less than half the price you would pay at the dealer. Recommended!

Le quedo a la medida de mi jetta 2000 2.0

I bought this for my 2002 Beetle Turbo S, downstream. It is an exact replacement, plug and play. The only issue is the cable/cord is much longer than what came on the car. It’s easily solved with a few tie straps however. There is an additional plug included in the box, maybe it’s ised for some other cars? For the Turbo S however, no cutting or splicing is required. Remove the two bolts in the band clamp that join the cat pipe and intermediate pipe. They’ll most likely break, go to Lowe’s and buy stainless steel to replace them. The cat pipe will drop enough to allow you to remove the sensor from the cat. I used a 7/8 line wrench and tapped it with a hammer. Easy peasy, lemon squeezey.

Good product work’s awesome
