Not much in the way of information. I installed both rear O2 sensors with Bosch and they work great (2001 A6 2.7T). Cleared the "Cat inefficiency" code immediately and they fit perfectly. I did not use the connector that came with 'em, though. No room. Just used butt splices and silicone tape. Wire colors were the same as the originals. Sure you ordered the right ones?

I have never bought a Bosch O2 sensor that did not work out of the box.

If you search youtube, you will find a method for bench testing oxygen sensors, using a propane torch and a voltmeter.
