Re: Oxygen Sensor

hillis75, I'm also interested in replacing my oxygen sensor on my A4. I found this instructional post on this forum...

https://forums.audiworld.com/general/msgs/16915.phtml

I then did a search for the part referenced in the post, a BOSCH 3-WIRE HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR...

Hope this helps.

Hook up a VAG-COM to your car to see if the sensors are going bad. I did about 2 months ago and

my O2 sensors are in perfect operating specs. I was told by Lloyd of TDL Racing that O2 sensors will last longer than you think. And when they start to go you will notice your engine not running right.

I have a 97 2.8QM and it has 123k miles. I drive my car fairly agressively but still get around 22-25 MPG with my original O2 sensors.
