cross reference parts
Oxygen sensor for a Chevy = $20
Oxygen sensor for an Audi = $150 !!!!! They look the same. Most sensors have a Zirconia element and operate between 0 and 1 volt. Does anyone know of a cross-reference between Audi parts and the more reasonable priced parts available at the local auto parts store? |

You can also buy a generic Bosch sensor for about $40 and crimp the wires to the
Audi plug. Solder can be a problem with the heat in the area. Frank wrote: > Oxygen sensor for a Chevy = $20 > Oxygen sensor for an Audi = $150 !!!!! > They look the same.

From:
http://www.boschusa.com/AutoParts/FAQs/OxygenSensors/ "Q. Except for the connector assembly, aren't all oxygen sensors basically the same? A. NO. There are five fundamentally different types of oxygen sensors: unheated thimble, heated thimble, planar, wide-band and titania. Within each sensor type, sensors vary in the design of the ceramic element, heater element and protection tube design, all of which affect sensor operation." I guess I have an Heated Thimble on my 83 Audi 4000S, a Heated Thimble on my 91 Passat, and a Titania on my 88 Cherokee engine. Now I only need two more to complete my 5! lol BTW the website above has a link for instructions on how to install a universal 02 sensor and also a Vehicle Part Finder link to find the univeral 02 sensor later, dave "Frank" > wrote in message .. . > Oxygen sensor for a Chevy = $20 > Oxygen sensor for an Audi = $150 !!!!! > They look the same.

Try to find an equivalent VW part. For an A4, go to a VW dealer and buy
part number 06A 906 262 Q, it's about $25 and plugs right in. "Frank" > wrote in message .. . > Oxygen sensor for a Chevy = $20 > Oxygen sensor for an Audi = $150 !!!!! > They look the same.
