Default Talk to me about VW oxygen sensors.....need advice

I have a 2000 A6 with the 2.7T six speed. It's a wanna be S4. Anyway, I am replacing the sensors and doing a search produced ambiguous info about VW sensors being compatible and widely available for a fraction of an Audi sensor. I'm looking for a splice-in universal sensor. Can someone tell me how I might save a bunch of money. Thanks

Default The VW sensors are $25 vs $150 for the Audi ones.

The connectors are different so you need to either repin or cut and splice. Find the part number through the search.

Default Ummmm, want to save money and time, or just more money?

Again save time and money, order up a set of these, save more money, get the VW's directly, procure the wiring and protective sleave and spend the time wiring.

Default VW 02 use the same sensor, it's the clip on the end that is different.

save yourself 125 bucks.
